This means that the properties will be silently ignored if Derby has not been granted sufficient privileges. This means that if you make a mistake crafting your security policy, then you may disable authentication and authorization. You may not realize this until you have incurred a security breach. This swallowing occurs at the following code locations: > {noformat} > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.BaseMonitor readApplicationProperties Catch java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 1360 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.BaseMonitor runWithState Catch java.lang.SecurityException 0 line 280 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.FileMonitor PBgetJVMProperty Catch java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 183 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.FileMonitor PBinitialize Catch java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 120 > {noformat} > SecurityExceptions are swallowed at other locations in the Monitor. The implications of these swallowings should be understood and, at a minimum, security problems should be fixed: > {noformat} > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.FileMonitor PBinitialize Catch java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 157 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.FileMonitor createDaemonGroup Catch java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 89 > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
