On Windows server platforms, since V.2.1, Authentication has been used for configuring the server authentication mode if you need it to be other than the default.
The mode settings for v.2.5 are the same, viz.
trusted makes use of Windows “trusted authentication”. Under the right conditions, this may be the most secure way to authenticate on Windows.
native sets the traditional Firebird server authentication mode, requiring users to log in using a user name and password defined in the security database.
mixed allows both.
Under v.2.5, although the modes are unchanged, configuring 'mixed' or 'trusted' mode no longer confers SYSDBA privileges on Windows domain administrators automatically by default. Please read the notes in the Administrative Features chapter regarding the new RDB$ADMIN role in ODS 11.2 databases and auto-mapping SYSDBA privileges to domain administrators.
The default configuration has been changed from mixed to native. To enable trusted user authentication (whether mixed or trusted, it is now necessary to configure this parameter specifically.
