[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-4493) encryptionAlgorithm is ignored at
boot, but Documentation states it is required
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4493?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13692333#comment-13692333 ]

----------------------------------------
There has been no activity on this jira for a very long time. I think Bryan suggested some doc changes in the link he provided above.

> Key: DERBY-4493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4493
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0
> Environment: Windows XP SP3 / JRE 1.5 / Derby 10.5.3.0 embedded.
> Reporter: Sven Pedersen
> Assignee: Bryan Pendleton
> Priority: Minor
>
> The documentation @ http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.5/devguide/tdevdvlp40140.html
> states that
> "If the algorithm that was used when the database was created is not the default algorithm, you must also specify the encryptionAlgorithm attribute"
> yet when I gave the wrong value of "DES/CBC/NoPadding", having created the database with "DESede", it booted without a problem. I was concerned that it might not have actually encrypted with the correct algorithm, given this Java bug:
> http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5129170&start=15
> I was concerned that it might not use strong (>128 bit) encryption. Other people may be similarly concerned about what the documentation seems to say, given the behavior of the code. I think that statement in quotes should be removed entirely, and one stating something to the effect of
> "Just supply the bootPassword or encryptionKey attributes to boot the database."
> Should replace it.
