At first it looked like any user name (regardless of password) that had an access granted to a table could connect to the database. However, when I moved the database to another computer, those users were no longer recognized. The docs say the security database isn't used, so where are these users getting stored? Thanks, Kevin Back to top Jeff Overcash (TeamB) Guest Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2003 7:26 pm    Post subject: Re: Firebird 1.5 embedded security You will probably get the fastest response in the FireBird groups on yahoo.

It used to be called isc4.gdb, but now Fb calls it security.fdb. -- Aage J.

It used to be called isc4.gdb, but now Fb calls it security.fdb. The Embedded version is different. This from the Readme.txt: 2.3. Authentication and security The security database (namely security.fdb) is not used in the embedded server and hence is not required. Any user is able to attach to any database. Since both the server and the client run in the same address space, the security becomes just an agreement between both sides which can be easily compromised. kevin Quote: -- Aage J.
