Problems connecting to firebird 3 about fb

[woblavobla]

@choallin check your configuration and security3.fdb. On clean Firebird you should initialize security db. Try to google on issues with connecting to clean firebird 3.

@woblavobla I am very new to Firebird (but I know postrges and mysql). Where do I find the security3.fdb? Or how can I configure it?

[woblavobla]

@choallin First of all you should uninstall any previous versions of Firebird and gem 'fb'. Then install Firebird 3 and gem fb. This is needed to build gem with firebird 3 header files. And try to connect again.

I did this already, but it didn't change. (Now I have th fb gem version 0.9.0)

@choallin you can only login with users that have been created for legacy authentication; the new Srp authentication is not supported; You should google how to correctly config legacy auth for Firebird 3.

I configured the db according to this: https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-compat-legacyauth.html
Do I need to create a new user for the legacy auth or should the sysdba user be allowed to log in via legacy?

[woblavobla]

@choallin use this guide https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-compat-initsec.html

I installed the firebird server now on my host and everything works.
Honestly I don't know why it didn't work in a vm...
