I think I've nailed down the basic installation requirements for configuration of the FB3 security database under windows. On first install the user can choose between the new and the legacy authentication methods, SYSDBA is added correctly and firebird.conf is updated correctly. So far, so good.
What I haven't got a grip on is how to deal with re-installation or modification. What happens if the user changes authentication? The uninstaller never uninstalls the security database and firebird.conf unless the /CLEAN parameter is used. And the installer will leave an existing security db and fb.conf intact and deploy the defaults with a suitable file suffix so that users can distinguish between 'their' files and the defaults that are deployed with firebird. So the question is this - can the authentication method be switched between srp and legacy without modifiying security3.fdb?
