             Summary: Disable securityMechanism=8 in NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms
                 Key: DERBY-5940
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5940
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Test
    Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
         Environment: ARM platforms
            Reporter: Kristian Waagan
            Assignee: Kristian Waagan


The security mechanism strong password substitution (securityMechanism=8) uses code that relies on entropy, which seems to be in short supply on some ARM systems. This includes the ARM server farm available in the ASF build/test farm.

I will disable tests using strong password substitution in NSSecurityMechanismTest on ARM platforms to be able to run the test to completion within a reasonable time.
DERBY-3106 and DERBY-5651 are relevant.
