[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6598) Document permissions recommendations for JAR procedures

["Kim Haase (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6598?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14017055#comment-14017055 ] 

Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6598:
----------------------------------

I think the "Configuring Java security" topic of the security guide covers this under "Backups/imports/jars" but might need an added note on this subject.

The introductory topic in the Reference Manual, "System procedures for storing jar files in a database", needs the information.

In the Developer's Guide, the info should probably be added to the "Jar file examples" topic, the parent of the one that shows how to use the procedures.

There's a mention of the procedures in one of the replication topics in the Admin Guide, but it cross-references both the Dev Guide and the Reference Manual, so I don't think anything needs to be added there.

> It's been recommended that we should make the documentation of the SQLJ.INSTALL_JAR procedure (and SQLJ.REPLACE_JAR) state more explicitly that the privilege should only be granted to trusted users. For example:
> "Since this procedure can be used to install arbitrary code that runs in the same Java Virtual Machine as the Derby database engine, the execution privilege should only be granted to trusted users."
> This needs to go into the Reference Manual topics on these procedures as well as other locations where they are discussed.
