Firebird Authentication?
raldo:
Has anyone tried to run PVD as a client running on another computer than the server?
I'm getting firebird 401 errors which indicates that there is something wrong with the user authentication. Where are username and password for server mode in PVD?
My "use case" is that I've installed the server on an HTPC which runs JRiver Media Center (JRMC). PvdImport is used to connect JRMC to PVD. I'd like to run PVD from client laptops so that the metadata acquirement process is moved away from the HTPC.

Generally Firebird does not like having the database on a remote server.
Have you tried copying the database to the remote computer?

I forgot to mention that the DB is located on the server. The client (implemented in PVD) shall run on another computer.

The "Connect to server" option is made for exactly the same cases and seems to work for a number of users. Are you using the latest PVD version? Could it be an access rights issue in windows? What is the exact error message? Which path do you enter to connect to the database?

o Using .14
o Access rights: Possibly, but I have no idea. The connection was attempted between two vista machines.
o I did this at my sisters home and I don't have the exact error message. The message number was 401 from firebird which is related to authentication
o Path: <computername>:<local computer path>
Maybe a logon to the computer itself is somehow needed?
