OK just for the record
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/
but since I presume FB4 will appear there at some point I've locked the 
7 packages SUSE listed to version 3.0.4 ... along with Flamerobin.

And 
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php:/php72/ 
looks like it protects from later versions of PHP and I've got the 
development web service updated.

Now to work out why I can't see TV on the right hand monitor ... I had 
the news channel up before lunch! ... And have another go at Mercurial ...

I have been making progress, but mainly getting the development platform 
working again on Leap 15.0 ... As it happens 15.1 does nothing for 
Firebird ... it still has 3.0.2 as the best version available. 15.1 has 
done nothing to fix the graphics problems either. The 4 screens come up 
in the wrong order and while I could move cables around there are other 
two screen machines in parallel and the 'new' suse default means the 
pairs end up split. Why can't they simply leave working hardware alone 
 but then one is expected to buy new kit every year or so? I've been 
using this monitor and KVM setup for several years and apart from an 
extender playing up which I've NOW sorted while waiting on 15.1 it works 
fine ...

SO ... since as has been said on the dev list RPM's from Firebird were 
dropped, just what is the best way to upgrade from 3.0.2 while 
maintaining compatibility with the SUSE infrastructure. At the end of 
the day this is about producing a crib sheet I can rely on to upgrade 
all of the machines and keep them as identical as possible. Much as I 
used to do for w2k servers all those years ago!

A search for firebird on Leap 15.1 packages does not even give a result 
and across all versions only returns the PHP clients. But I know I've 
seen a repo for databases with 3.0.4 in ... so now to find where it is 
 OH and reset everything so that PHP works after the upgrade!

Or you could just try it to see if it helps. You have repeatedly posted 
similar problems over the last few months, and I don't get the 
impression you made any progress on it. Just try to initialize your 
security database for SRP to see if it fixes your problem. Assuming Srp 
is in the UserManager list, it only takes two statements (four if you 
want to drop the user again). If it solves the problem, then you can 
spend your time and energy on your other problems. If it doesn't solve 
your problem, then nothing was lost except the few minutes to 
create/drop a SRP user.

And check the firebird.log for errors, as the reply by Dimitry suggests 
that the error might be returned for other problems with accessing the 
security database (although AFAIK, that is the "Your user name and 
password are not defined." error without the reference to the 
compatibility chapter).

   Because it is not a real error. CORE-4964 hides errors caused by failing 
connection to 
security database. Some of them were fixed in post releases.

A question perhaps for SUSE as to why the current stable build only has 
3.0.2? I don't want to switch on the development repo's as they DO cause 
problems with things, but switching JUST 3.0.4 is what I though I had 
done on the other machine yet it's still got a 3.0.2 client ...

The SUSE side have said Leap15.1 Beta may be my best option as they 
admit problems with some legacy parts of 15.0 ... tha is if it will 
actually run on my hardware which has run 13.1 for many years perfectly.

ALL I have enabled in the config file is Legacy ... srp is not listed at 
all, so why should creating an srp user be necessary? I've not looked to 
that side at all yet ... just more reading for something I don't see the 
need to use. Anyway have a 15.1 disk ready to run ... so off-line for a 
bit again ...

3.0.3 fixed 87 issues, 3.0.4 fixed 74 issues (based on tickets closed in 
the tracker). If you have stability issues with 3.0.2, your first stop 
should be to upgrade to 3.0.4.

No clue why you'd get that error randomly, but I guess it doesn't apply 
a stable AuthClient setting (maybe something is depending on load order 
of libraries, etc?). To avoid that error itself, initialize the security 
database for SRP by creating a SRP user (and if you don't want to use 
it: drop that user again).
