[jira] Commented: (DERBY-461) Network Client Driver 'password=' behaviour is different from Embedded Driver

["Philip Wilder (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-461?page=comments#action_12315924 ] 

Philip Wilder commented on DERBY-461:
-------------------------------------

There seem to be two places clientside where password length is checked:
org.apache.derby.client.net.NetConnection#checkPasswordLength()
org.apache.derby.client.net.NetConnectionRequest#buildPASSWORD()

If length == 0 conditionals are removed my Standalone repro seems to work properly. Anyone know of any hidden ramifications this might have?

I also checked getting a connection through a ClientDataSource without problem. Can anyone think of anymore clientside connection methods I should be testing?

>         Type: Bug
>   Components: Network Client
>     Versions: 10.1.1.0
>     Reporter: Susan Cline
>     Priority: Minor

> I posted to derby-dev asking if this was a bug and did not receive any response, so I'm logging it as a bug.
> Using the Embedded driver and specifying password= for the driver URL does not throw 
> an exception or warning:
>  
> ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:myDB;create=true;user=a;password=';
> ij(CONNECTION1)>
>  
> Using this syntax with the Network Client driver does:
>  
> ij> connect 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/blobDB;user=a;password=';
> ERROR (no SQLState): password length, 0, is not allowed.
> This bug is a request to make the behaviour of the client driver the same as the embedded driver.
