[firebird-support] Re: Enable authorization for legacy Firebird clients

Hi,

My point is that I have not created SYSDBA with masterke password and I still 
can connected database with these. 

"Note that you have two entries for User1, one for the SRP plugin and the other 
for the Legacy Authentication." 
Now I understand logic that there are 2 different user for SYSDBA but shouldnt 
firebird installer have second input for legacy authentication user creation.

My worry is that someone install firebird with legacy authentication and don't 
change this user password afterwards.

[firebird-support] Enable authorization for legacy Firebird clients

 Hi,
  
 I don’t know if i have understand “Enable authorization for legacy Firebird 
clients” right but.. 
  
 I just installed Firebird 3 to new development server and checked “Enable 
authorization for legacy Firebird clients” so I can test connection from old 
2.5 clients. In this installation window I create random password like 
“pass1234”. When I connected to database from same server connection is okay 
with “pass1234”. But when I tried to connect from old development server where 
firebird 2.5 is installed with “pass1234” I get error “Your user name and 
password…”.  My surprise was when I tried connect database from old server with 
pasword “masterkey” that connection is succesfully.
  
 I have not created user SYSDBA with “masterke” password and still I get 
connected in database.  So my question is that should this be like this? 
  
 Best regards,
