[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-1721) DOCS - Remove duplicate information
in Dev Guide re: Encryption
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1721?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13470325#comment-13470325 ]
Kim Haase commented on DERBY-1721:
----------------------------------
I have learned of an error in src/devguide/cdevcsecure60146.dita, "Booting an encrypted database" -- to access a database that was encrypted with a non-default algorithm, you do not need to specify the algorithm again, since the algorithm is stored in service.properties. You need only specify the boot password or encryption key.
I plan to commit the existing patch on October 8 and then file a revised patch with this change. If anyone notices other changes that need to be made, please let me know. I also plan to backport the changes, but no further back than 10.5.

> In the Developers Guide. there are 2 sections that contain information about encryption.
> In some cases there are topics with different content but with the same titles.
> There should not be duplicate titles in the Derby documentation.
> There is this section:
> JDBC applications and Derby basics -->Derby embedded basics -->Working with the database connection URL attributes
> that has these topic titles:
> --Using the databaseName attribute
> --Shutting down Derby or an individual database
> --Creating and accessing a database
> --Providing a user name and password
> --Encrypting a database when you create it
> --Booting an encrypted database
> --Specifying attributes in a properties object
> Then there is this section:
> Derby and Security -->Encrypting databases on disk -->Working with encryption
> that has these topic titles:
> --Encrypting databases on creation
> --Creating the boot password
> --Specifying an alternate encryption provider
> --Specifying an alternate encryption algorithm
> --Booting an encrypted database
> --Changing the boot password
> Someone needs to look at the content of these files, rework the information and necessary, create the related links, and then retitle the topics to avoid duplicate titles.
