Description

Running the test jdbcapi/secureUsers1.sql with a security manager results in:

> ERROR 08004: Connection refused : javax.naming.CommunicationException: noSuchMachine:389 [Root exception is java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission noSuchMachine resolve)]

Adding this permission to the policy file has no effect. which means a priv block is required around the LDAP call.
permission java.net.SocketPermission "noSuchMachine", "resolve";
