Duplicates CORE4471

follow-up on CORE4648, where Alex said "using legacy applications you still can use new security model. They should work wih fresh fbclient. If not - it's a bug."

Applications do connect to a Firebird 3 server using its new fbclient, but some of us have to operate mixed environments (Firebird 2.5 and 3) for a while.
Firebird 25 fbclient can handle both servers, the new fbclient only Firebird 3. In a system like Apache, which only knows one fbclient, this leaves no choice but to use the old fbclient.

Legacy applications I tried to connect to a Firebird 2.5 server with the current (Firebird 3 beta 1) fbclient were apparently unable to find/access the security2.fdb: Error message Your user name and password are not defined ...
The other way works - Applications can connect to a Firebird 3 server (with legacy configuration) using a Firebird 2.5 fbclient. Tested with Flamerobin, Apache / php.

Looks like Firebird 3 fbclient is no drop-in replacement for older fbclient right now.

Check the current snapshot. I have everything working in the default configuration to version 3.0.0.31512. See CORE4471 was recently fixed.

Specifically to get it to work with Firebird 3 beta 1 you need to change the config **of fbclient.dll** to:

AuthClient = Srp, Legacy_Auth, Win_Sspi

CORE4471?focusedCommentId=28114&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#⁠action_28114

Note that this requires a firebird.conf in the same folder as the fbclient.dll that is used by the application!

Seems to be resolved, tested with build 31529.
Btw, it is noticably slower on connect than a 2.5-fbclient, but I can't say if that's because collecting database metadata takes more time now or because different managers for the connection are tried (I have only configured one - Legacy_Auth).

@mark: For this to work, it was not necessary to copy firebird.conf to another directory.

IMO this was no duplicate of CORE4471, since my configuration does not include Win_Sspi.
