Can't use Firebird 3 fbclient to connect to Firebird 2.5
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-4649
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4649
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API / Client Library
Affects Versions: 3.0 Beta 1
Environment: Win7 64Bit WI-T3.0.0.31374 Firebird 3.0 Beta 1
Reporter: Volker Rehn
follow-up on http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4648, where Alex said
"using legacy applications you still can use new security model. They should
work wih fresh fbclient. If not - it's a bug."
Applications do connect to a Firebird 3 server using its new fbclient, but some
of us have to operate mixed environments (Firebird 2.5 and 3) for a while.
Firebird 25 fbclient can handle both servers, the new fbclient only Firebird 3.
In a system like Apache, which only knows one fbclient, this leaves no choice
but to use the old fbclient.
Legacy applications I tried to connect to a Firebird 2.5 server with the
current (Firebird 3 beta 1) fbclient were apparently unable to find/access the
security2.fdb: Error message Your user name and password are not defined ...
The other way works - Applications can connect to a Firebird 3 server (with
legacy configuration) using a Firebird 2.5 fbclient. Tested with Flamerobin,
Apache / php.
Looks like Firebird 3 fbclient is no drop-in replacement for older fbclient
right now.
