[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3271) Using BUILTIN authentication, I
can't log in as database creator after storing credentials in the database.

Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-3271:
--------------------------------------
Hi John.
Thanks for running these experiments. It sounds as though you have uncovered a bug related to property precedence and the hashing of the password. When you store a password using SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY, what is actually stored is a hashed value. Your theory sounds plausible to me.
However, there may be another bug in here. I see the original bug under the following circumstance:
1) Remove the database.
2) Run the script, specifying credentials for builtindba on the vm boot command. This creates a database and stores passwords for builtindba and fred.
3) Then rerun the script without specifying credentials for anyone on the vm boot command. This fails to connect as builtindba but sucessfully connects as fred.

> Using builtin authentication I am able to create a database and store credentials for 2 users: the original database creator and a second user. After that, I am able to reconnect as the second user but not as the original database creator. My test case follows.
