> It seems derby.authentication.ldap.searchFilter=derby.user doesn't work as advertised.
> LDAPAuthenticationSchemeImpl contains this code:
> #authenticateUser:
>     :
>     // Retrieve the user's DN (Distinguished Name) If we're asked to
>     // look it up locally, do it first and if we don't find it, we go
>     // against the LDAP server for a look-up (search)
>     if (useUserPropertyAsDN)
>             userDN =
>                     authenticationService.getProperty(
>                             org.apache.derby.iapi.reference.Property.USER_PROPERTY_PREFIX);
> The lookup happens against the property "derby.user.", the username is not appended first, so userDN is always set to null, and search ensues before bind. Cf. this explanation http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/develop/develop100.html:
> > Derby typically initiates a search for a full DN before binding to the directory using the full DN for user authentication. Derby does not initiate a search in the following cases:
> > 
> >     * You have set derby.authentication.ldap.searchFilter to derby.user.
> >     * A user DN has been cached locally for the specific user with the derby.user.UserName property.
