Bear in mind in my case I was provided with 3.0.2 via SUSE and even
finding the release notes was an exercise. I'm fairly sure that this
said specifically DO NOT do something if you are only going to use
legacy connections ... yep ... The same red box appears on the 3.0.4
version! 3.0.4 copy I am looking at now only refers to adding the
default SYSDBA user and in my case this did exist but the 'Legacy
Authentication' section I THINK has a change?
Yes, and I think that instruction is not entirely correct. It seems to
be predicated on the assumption that the configuration applied by the
Windows installer to the `firebird.conf` (or the manual instructions in
Legacy Authentication) is also applied to the client, which is not the
case (at least, not on Windows). So the client will try Srp first, which
then results in an error because Srp was not initialised.
UserManager = Legacy_UserManager I think had the ", Srp" in the earlier
version and it's that which I was adding back first ... leaving it out THEN
AuthServer = Legacy_Auth, Srp is not causing a problem!
Specifying UserManager = Legacy_UserManager will allow you to manage
(create/drop/alter) legacy authentication users only. Using UserManager
= Legacy_UserManager, Srp will allow you to manage both, while legacy is
the default.
It should not affect authentication behavior as far as I'm aware, though.
