[jira] Commented: (DERBY-560) Provide finer grained security for connection attributes in Derby

["Daniel John Debrunner (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-560?page=comments#action_12323060 ] 

Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-560:
---------------------------------------------

For create databases I think Derby should at least match the shutdown system behaviour. For shutdown (jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true' the connection request  must pass system authentication (if enabled). Logically create database should follow the same authentication check.

> Currently if authentication is enabled in Derby,  anyone who has access to a database can connect with any attributes.  This makes sense as that is currently the only barrier to access to  a Derby database.
> With talk of adding GRANT/REVOKE to provide finer grained access, consideration should be given to also providing finer grained access to connection attributes, especially for Network Server.  Giving any user that can access the system permission to shutdown and create databases at will could be an issue.
