Users and Passwords

This property creates valid clear-text users and passwords within when the derby.authentication.provider property is set to BUILTIN. For information about users, see "Working with user authentication" in the .

  • Database-Level Properties

    When you create users with database-level properties, those users are available to the specified database only.

    You set the property once for each user. To delete a user, set that user's password to null.

  • System-Level Properties

    When you create users with system-level properties, those users are available to all databases in the system.

    You set the value of this system-wide property once for each user, so you can set it several times. To delete a user, remove that user from the file.

    You can define this property in the usual ways -- typically in the derby.properties file.

When a user name and its corresponding password are provided in the DriverManager.getConnection call, validates them against the properties defined for the current system.

User names are SQL92Identifiers and can be delimited.
