Legal values include:

A user-defined class that provides user authentication.
Derby's simple internal user authentication repository.

When using LDAP, you can set other LDAP-specific properties. See also:
Alternatively, you can write your own class to provide a different external authentication service. This class 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. For example, the class could allow Derby to hook up to an existing user authentication service that uses any of the standard directory and naming service providers to JNDI.
To enable any Derby user authentication, you must set the derby.connection.requireAuthentication property to true.
