An application can provide the user name and password in the
following ways.
- Separately, as arguments to the following signature of the method:
getConnection(String url, String user, String password)
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:derby:myDB", "mary", "little7xylamb");
- As attributes to the database connection URL:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:derby:myDB;user=mary;password=little7xylamb");
- By setting the user and password
properties in a Properties object as with other connection URL
attributes:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("user", "mary");
p.put("password", "little7xylamb");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:derby:myDB", p);
The password is not encrypted. When you are using
in the context of a
server framework, the framework should be responsible for encrypting the
password across the network. If your framework does not encrypt the password, it
is strongly recommended that you protect network connections with
SSL/TLS (see ).
