Programming the application to provide the user and password

In the DriverManager.getConnection call, an application can provide the user name and password in the following ways.

  • Separately as arguments to the following signature of the method: getConnection(String url, String user, String password)
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:derby:myDB", "mary", "little7xylamb");
  • As attributes to the database connection URL
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:derby:myDB;user=mary;password=little7xylamb");
  • By setting the user and password properties in a Properties object as with other connection URL attributes
    Properties p = new Properties();
    p.put("user", "mary");
    p.put("password", "little7xylamb");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:derby:myDB", p);
Note: The password is not encrypted. When you are using Derby in the context of a server framework, the framework should be responsible for encrypting the password across the network. If your framework does not encrypt the password, consider using SSL.

For information about the treatment of user names within the Derby system, see Users and authorization identifiers.
