Your user name and password are not defined when $ character presents in
user's password
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5544
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5544
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: GBAK
Affects Versions: 2.5.7
Environment: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 x64 running on WMWare
vSphere 8 cpu cores, 12 GB RAM
Reporter: Miroslav Djorov
I was trying to move some clients' databases from a Windows server to new Linux
CentOS server. I've created all DB users with their passwords with IBExpert's
user manager.
After that I've copied backup files of clients' databases and for one of the
databases I've got this error:
gbak: ERROR:Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database
administrator to set up a Firebird login.
At the same time I don't have any problems logging in with the user's name and
password with isql-fb. I was trying to restore the databases with this command:
gbak -C -P 8192 -user XXXXX -password n98D$kMS backup.fbk database.fdb
After few tries I think that the problem is with the $ character in the
password. I've tried some combinations with these results
Password Result
n98D$kMS Your user name and password are not defined...
n98DkMS working
n98D$k Your user name and password are not defined...
n98Dk working
n98D$ working!!!
$n98D Error message: requires both input and output filenames
"$n98D" Your user name and password are not defined....
At the same time on Windows, Firebird's version 2.5.7.27050 works fine
Installed packages:
