User-defined class
Set derby.authentication.provider to the full name of a
class that implements the public interface org.apache.derby.authentication.UserAuthenticator.
By writing your own class that fulfills some minimal requirements, you
can hook Derby up to an external
authentication service other than LDAP. To do so, specify an external
authentication service by setting the property derby.authentication.provider to
a class name that you want Derby to
load at startup.
The class that provides the external authentication service must implement
the public interface org.apache.derby.authentication.UserAuthenticator and
throw exceptions of the type java.sql.SQLException where appropriate.
Using a user-defined class makes Derby adaptable
to various naming and directory services.
