Configuring security in an embedded environment
In an embedded environment, typically there is only one database
per system and there are no administrative resources to protect databases.
To configure security in an embedded environment:
Encrypt the database when you create it.
Configure all security features as database-level properties.
These properties are stored in the database (which is encrypted). See .
Turn on protection for database-level properties so that they cannot
be overridden by system properties by setting the derby.database.propertiesOnly property
to TRUE.
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing databases once they
are booted, turn on user authentication for the database and configure user
authorization for the database.
If you are using 's
built-in users, configure each user as a database-level property so that user
names and passwords can be encrypted.
