[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3186) Do not allow the user to create inaccessible databases

Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3186:
----------------------------------------------

> The user should not be allowed to set both derby.database.propertiesOnly and derby.connection.requireAuthentication on database level without having defined any users on the database level.

Just a reminder that Derby does not require users to be defined at the database level (by Derby), e.g. the authentication and thus user definition may be through LDAP. So the above statement should include and "derby.authentication.provider=BUILTIN" (maybe including "derby.authentication.provider not set" as well?).

> When dealing with users and properties, it is possible to create inaccessible or unmanageable databases. This happens only (I think) when derby.database.propertiesOnly is set to true.
> checks should be implemented to avoid that. Examples:
> The user should not be allowed to set both derby.database.propertiesOnly and derby.connection.requireAuthentication on database level without having defined any users on the database level. A database with both these properties set and no users will be inaccessible.
> The user should not be allowed to set  derby.database.propertiesOnly, derby.connection.requireAuthentication and derby.database.sqlAuthorization without the current user (which will be the database owner) defined on the database level. A database with this settings may not be managed (properties may not be changed, users may not be created or deleted).
> Note that its much easier to create these situations with GUI interfaces (e.g. JConsole and JMX) than with the tedious editing of property calls and sql system routines that we currently offer.
