Function
Specifies a security mechanism
for client access to the Network Server. The value is numeric.
Valid numeric values are:
- 9, which specifies Encrypted UserID and Encrypted Password
security. If you specify this mechanism, both the user ID and the password are
encrypted. See "Enabling the encrypted user ID and password security mechanism"
in the Derby Server and Administration Guide for additional
requirements for the use of this security mechanism.
- 3, which specifies Clear Text Password security. Clear
Text Password security is the default if you do not specify the
securityMechanism attribute and you specify both the
user=userName
and
password=userPassword
attributes.
- 4, which specifies User Only security. User Only security
is the default if you do not specify the securityMechanism attribute and
you specify the
user=userName
attribute but not the
password=userPassword
attribute.
Combining with other attributes
The securityMechanism attribute must be combined with the
user=userName
attribute.
Example
