I wonder if the trusted auth should be enabled on linux too for embedded mode for example I didn't checked yet but the linux embedded library should use the current user if you open a database in the home folder and you provided no password
"As soon as I tested it on a Mac I discovered that I could not connect to the database: wrong username or password. It happens that it is possible to set up an embedded server under Linux and Mac, as I described in older posts, but these servers will still use security2.fdb to authenticate the user" /home/mariuz/employee.fdb should be open under mariuz credentials (pam) for example with no need for a security database at all http://accountingplusplus.blogspot.fr/2012/06/firebird-connecting-to-embedded-server.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
