Authentication

A. Peshkov

(V.2.1) On Windows server platforms, from V.2.1 forward, Authentication is used for configuring the server authentication mode if you need it to be other than the default native.

Important

In Firebird 2.1 releases prior to v.2.1.3, the default was mixed. If you are updating to v.2.1.3 from v.2.1, v.2.1.1 or v.2.1.2 and you did not set this parameter explicitly, trusted user authentication will not work. To revert to the pre-2.1.3 setting, uncomment this parameter and set it to mixed. (Tracker reference CORE-2376.

  • trusted makes use of Windows “trusted authentication” which, under the right conditions, may be the most secure way to authenticate on Windows.

  • native sets the traditional Firebird server authentication mode, requiring users to log in using a user name and password defined in the security database.

  • mixed allows both.
