It's more confusing to have a "functional" security database without

No SRP users doesn't also mean no legacy or SSPI users.
Certainly, but in this case the best solution is to remove SRP plugin
from configuration.
Possibility to work without SYSDBA account is a feature not bug.
Definitely.
But - users who know how (and what for) to use such specific ways of
managing security on firebird server almost for sure also know what to
do in a case when SRP data structures were not initalized. We talk
about a message which should be as clear as possible for novice.
And that is covered by the normal error message:
"""
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database
administrator to set up a Firebird login.
"""
If the instruction "Ask your database administrator to set up a
Firebird login." is followed, then the problem resolves itself
Yes - provided there _IS_ such administrartor.
I remember very well when I myself first installed interbase 5.6 >20
years ago, and lost a few hours searching for default SYSDBA password
(masterkey). Now it looks funny, that time I was close to uninstall and
forget about interbase. That's why I insist on having as descriptive as
possible error message when something gone a bit wrong during installation.
, just like it would if the security database was initialized, but the
user simply didn't exist (or had the wrong password). This is more
clear than the instruction to look at the compatibility chapter, which
- IIRC - was initially not even very clear on what needed to happen to
solve the problem.
Alternatively, this error (isc_login) should be reported as the main
error, with a secondary error with additional information.
ie one gets:
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database
administrator to set up a Firebird login.
Install incomplete, please read the Compatibility chapter in the release
notes for this version
That's possible on my mind.
