Because the application server (including the choice of JDBC driver) is developed by another organization, and I am only responsible for the database server. Of course the two components intersect when it comes to user authentication, and that leads to my above question - I suppose I cannot talk the application server people into using another driver because that means unpaid work for them.

So, my question still stands.

Thanks for your advice,
