[jira] [Created] (DERBY-5940) Disable securityMechanism=8 in
NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms
Kristian Waagan created DERBY-5940:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Disable securityMechanism=8 in NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms
Key: DERBY-5940
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5940
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Task
Components: Test
Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
Environment: ARM platforms
Reporter: Kristian Waagan
Assignee: Kristian Waagan
The security mechanism strong password substitution (securityMechanism=8) uses code that relies on entropy, which seems to be in short supply on some ARM systems. This includes the ARM server farm available in the ASF build/test farm.
I will disable tests using strong password substitution in NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms to be able to run the test to completion within a reasonable time.
DERBY-3106 and DERBY-5651 are relevant.

[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-5940) Disable securityMechanism=8 in
NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms

Kristian Waagan updated DERBY-5940:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: derby-5940-1a-disable_secMec8_on_ARM.diff
Attaching patch 1a, which disables securityMechanism=8 in NSSecurityMechanismTest.
I verified the patch by tracing NetConnection.flowConnect. Forcing hasSufficientEntropy to false, the number of flows went down from 231 to 132.
I've also tested a very similar patch on the ASF ARM build farm.
Patch ready for review.

[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5940) Disable securityMechanism=8 in
NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms
Posted by "Knut Anders Hatlen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5940:
-------------------------------------------
I've seen this problem too. As I mentioned in my comment on DERBY-3106, I don't think it's worthwhile fixing the underlying problem, since we no longer recommend the use of securityMechanism=8. So disabling the test cases on ARM sounds fine to me. +1 to the approach in the 1a patch.
