Actually not. I tested this, and there needs to be defined at least
one user at the system level for a shutdown to work. So a more
precise wording would be:

"If you have enabled Derby's BUILTIN user authentication at the system
level (for example, by setting the property

      derby.connection.requireAuthentication=true 

in the derby.properties file), you will need to specify credentials
(e.g. username and password) in order to shut down a Derby system
*and* the supplied username/password must also be defined at the
system level."

> The topic "Shutting down Derby or an individual database" (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/tdevdvlp40464.html) begins,
> "Applications in an embedded environment shut down the Derby system by specifying the shutdown=true attribute in the connection URL. To shut down the system, you do not specify a database name, and you must not specify any other attribute."
> This statement actually needs some qualification, because (according to Francois Orsini) "if you have defined Derby's BUILT-IN user authentication at the System level (e.g. setting username / password in derby.properties file)" you do need to specify a username and password when you shut down the database.
> The topic needs to include this information. Further suggestions on the wording are welcome.
