Setting up Firebird for remote Access with JDBC

I have install开发者_如何学Ced Firebird 2.5 on my Ubuntu 10.10 server for some testing. However somewhere I have gone wrong, I am looking for the way in which I create a new 'superuser' (equivalent), create a new database and then finally what I need to call on to connect using JDBC. I know with MySQL and PostgreSQL you have to modify config files to allow remote access, is firebird the same?

I have tried CREATE USER... and DATABASE. Neither have worked so I guess I have missed somthing. Any advice for what should be a straight forward database and remote connection.

Thanks in advance!

I had se same problem with Firebird 3.0 but I don't if the way to solve it is the same for Firebird 2.5

You need to set up some parameters in the firebird.conf file. These parameters are the Wire encryption and the authentication methods for the java driver.

These steps worked for me.
