Description

Currently, the only way to specify the securityMechanism property on a client URL is using the integer value for the property, e.g. "jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/mydb;create=true;securityMechanism=8".

This is not very user friendly. We should allow the use of the string mnemonic as well, e.g.

"jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/mydb;create=true;securityMechanism=STRONG_PASSWORD_SUBSTITUTE"
