#
# Firebird version 3.0 configuration file
#
# Comments
# --------
# The # character is used for comments and can be placed anywhere on a
# line. Anything following the # character on a line is considered a
# comment.
#
# Examples:
#
# # This is a comment
# DefaultDbCachePages = 2048 # This is an end-of-line comment
#
# Entries
# -------
# The default value for each entry is listed to the right of the "=".
# To activate an entry, remove the leading "#"s and supply the desired
# value.
#
# Please note, by default a number of the values are specified in **Bytes** (Not KB).
# You may add obvious abbreviations k, m and g in the end of a number to specify
# kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes.
#
# There are three types of configuration values: integer, boolean and string.
#
# Integer
# -------
# Integers is what they sound like, an integral value. Examples:
# 1
# 42
# 4711
# 24M # 24 * 1024 * 1024
#
# Boolean
# -------
# Boolean is expressed as integer values with 0 (zero) being "false" and
# non-zero is taken to mean "true". For consistency we recommend you
# only use 0/1. Also strings 'y', 'yes' and 'true' stand for "true".
#
# String
# ------
# Strings are also what they sound like, strings. Examples:
# RemoteServiceName = gds_db
# RemotePipeName = pipe47
#
# Scopes
# ------
# Some parameters are marked as per-database / per-connection configurable.
# Per-database configuration is done in file databases.conf (former aliases.conf).
# Per-connection configuration is primarily client tool and done using
# isc_dpb_config parameter in DPB (isc_spb_config for services).
# Notice that per-database entries also may be tuned using DPB in case of
# embedded engine when attaching to database first time.
#
# Macro substitution
# ------------------
# There is a number of predefined macro commands, that can be used in config
# files where directory name is needed. They are available using $(name) syntax.
# The complete list of them as follows:
# root - root directory of firebird instance
# install - directory where firebird is installed
# this - directory where current configuration file is located
# dir_conf - directory where firebird.conf and databases.conf are located
# dir_secDb - directory where default security database is located
# dir_plugins - directory where plugins are located
# dir_udf - directory where UDFs are located by default
# dir_sample - directory where samples are located
# dir_sampleDb - directory where sample DB (employee.fdb) is located
# dir_intl - directory where international modules are located
# dir_msg - directory where messages file (firebird.msg) is located
# Like the rest of config internals macros are case-insensitive.
# Capital letters here are used only for better human readability.
#
#
# Includes
# --------
# One can include one config file into another one.
# When relative path is used, it's treated relative to current config file.
# I.e. when
# include some_file.conf
# is used in /opt/config/master.conf, we include /opt/config/some_file.conf.
# Traditional wildcards * and ? may be used in include operator. In this case
# all matching files will be included in undefined order. Example:
# include $(dir_plugins)/config/*.conf
#

# ----------------------------
# Database Paths/Directories
#
# DatabaseAccess may be None, Full or Restrict. If you choose Restrict,
# provide ';'-separated trees list, where database files are stored.
# Relative paths are treated relative to the root directory of firebird.
# Default value 'Full' gives full access to all files on your site.
# To specify access to specific trees, enum all required paths
# (for Windows this may be something like 'C:\DataBase;D:\Mirror',
# for unix - '/db;/mnt/mirrordb'). If you choose 'None', then only
# databases listed in databases.conf can be attached.
#
# Note: simple quotation marks shown above should *NOT* be used when
# specifying values and directory path names. Examples:
#
# DatabaseAccess = None
# DatabaseAccess = Restrict C:\DataBase
# DatabaseAccess = Restrict C:\DataBase;D:\Mirror
# DatabaseAccess = Restrict /db
# DatabaseAccess = Restrict /db;/mnt/mirrordb
# DatabaseAccess = Full
#
# UNCONTROLLED DATABASE ACCESS MAY COMPROMISE YOUR SYSTEM!
# IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SETTING BE USED TO LIMIT
# DATABASE LOCATIONS!
#
# Type: string (special format)
#
#DatabaseAccess = Full
# ----------------------------
# Ability to access databases remotely
#
# RemoteAccess may be true or false (1/0, Yes/No) - it's boolean value.
# By default RemoteAccess to all databases except security DB is enabled.
# If you plan to use more than one dedicated security database it's
# recommended to disable remote access to them in databases.conf.
# However (as an additional method to have secure enhanced firebird
# installation) one can disable remote access globally and re-enable
# in databases.conf only for specific databases.
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
# Type: boolean
#
#RemoteAccess = true
# ----------------------------
# External File Paths/Directories
#
# ExternalFileAccess may be None, Full or Restrict. If you choose
# Restrict, provide ';'-separated trees list, where external files
# are stored. Relative paths are treated relative to the root directory
# of firebird. Default value 'None' disables any use of external files
# on your site. To specify access to specific trees, enum all required
# paths (for Windows this may be something like 'C:\ExternalTables',
# for unix - '/db/extern;/mnt/extern').
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
# NOTE: THE EXTERNAL TABLE ENGINE FEATURE COULD BE USED TO COMPROMISE
# THE SERVER/HOST AS WELL AS DATABASE SECURITY!!
#
# IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SETTING BE USED TO LIMIT
# EXTERNAL TABLE LOCATIONS!
#
# Type: string (special format)
#
#ExternalFileAccess = None
# ----------------------------
# External Function (UDF) Paths/Directories
#
# UdfAccess may be None, Full or Restrict. If you choose
# Restrict, provide ';'-separated trees list, where UDF libraries
# are stored. Relative paths are treated relative to the root directory
# of firebird.
#
# Default value 'Restrict UDF' provides the same restrictions
# as in FB 1.0. To specify access to specific trees, enum all required
# paths (for Windows this may be something like 'C:\ExternalFunctions',
# for unix - '/db/extern;/mnt/extern').
#
# # For this build Restrict UDF means Restrict /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firebird/3.0/UDF
#
# NOTE: THE EXTERNAL FUNCTION ENGINE FEATURE COULD BE USED TO COMPROMISE
# THE SERVER/HOST AS WELL AS DATABASE SECURITY!!
#
# IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SETTING BE USED TO LIMIT
# EXTERNAL FUNCTION LOCATIONS!
#
# Type: string (special format)
#
#UdfAccess = Restrict UDF
# ----------------------------
# Temporary directories
#
# Provide ';'-separated trees list, where temporary files are stored.
# Relative paths are treated relative to the root directory of firebird.
# Default value is determined using FIREBIRD_TMP, TEMP or TMP
# environment options. Once the first specified directory has no
# available space, the engine will switch to the next one, and so on.
#
# E.g.:
# TempDirectories = c:\temp
# or
# TempDirectories = c:\temp;d:\temp
#
# Type: string (special format)
#
#TempDirectories =
# ----------------------------
# Trace configuration file for system audit
#
# Empty value means that system audit is turned off.
#
# Type: string
#
#AuditTraceConfigFile =
# ----------------------------
# Maximum summary size of each user trace session's log files in MB.
# When log files size reach this limit, trace session automatically
# suspends until interactive user service read and delete some log files.
#
# Type: integer
#
#MaxUserTraceLogSize = 10
# ----------------------------
# Number of cached database pages
#
# This sets the number of pages from any one database that can be held
# in cache at once. If you increase this value, the engine will
# allocate more pages to the cache for every database. By default, the
# SuperServer allocates 2048 pages for each database and the classic
# allocates 256 pages per client connection per database.
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
# Type: integer
#
#DefaultDbCachePages = 2048
# ----------------------------
# Disk space preallocation
#
# Sets the amount of preallocated disk space in bytes. Disk space
# preallocation allows to reduce physical file fragmentation and to make
# database work in out of disk space condition. With preallocation enabled,
# engine allocates 1/16nth of already allocated disk space at a time but
# not less than 128KB and no more than DatabaseGrowthIncrement (128MB by
# default). To disable preallocation set DatabaseGrowthIncrement to zero.
# Shadow database files are not preallocated.
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
# Type: integer
#
#DatabaseGrowthIncrement = 128M
# ----------------------------
# File system cache threshold
#
# The threshold value that determines whether Firebird will use file system
# cache or not. File system caching is used if database cache size in pages
# (configured explicitly in database header or via DefaultDbCachePages setting)
# is less than FileSystemCacheThreshold value.
#
# To use file system cache always set FileSystemCacheThreshold to a large value.
# To bypass file system cache for all databases set FileSystemCacheThreshold to
# zero.
#
# Type: integer, measured in database pages
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
#FileSystemCacheThreshold = 64K
# ----------------------------
# File system cache size
#
# This setting controls the maximum amount of RAM used by Windows file system
# cache on 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later host. It has no
# effect for Unix hosts in this release yet.
#
# Note that the lowest number presently supported is 10%, and the highest number
# is 95%; numbers outside these limits will be set to the default of 30%.
#
# If the cache size has already been selected when the engine starts the host
# setting will not be changed. Thus you may need to reboot the host for the
# change of this setting to have effect.
#
# To leave host caching settings unchanged set this parameter to 0. This is
# the default parameter value.
#
# Security note
# To adjust the setting engine needs SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege right. Built-in
# service accounts and administrators have it by default. Installer grants this
# right to Firebird service account. If the engine fails to adjust the cache
# size setting it will log warning message to the firebird.log and continue.
#
# Type: integer, measured in % of total physical RAM
#
#FileSystemCacheSize = 0
# ----------------------------
# Remove protection against opening databases on NFS mounted volumes on
# Linux/Unix and SMB/CIFS volumes on Windows.
#
# This also permits creating database shadows on mounted network volumes.
#
# ***WARNING*** ***WARNING*** ***WARNING*** ***WARNING***
#
# This option removes an important safety feature of Firebird and can
# cause irrecoverable database corruption. Do not use this option unless
# you understand the risks and are prepared to accept the loss of the
# contents of your database.
# Unless this configuration option is changed from 0 to 1, Firebird can
# open a database only if the database is stored on a drive physically
# attached to the local computer - the computer running that copy of
# Firebird. Requests for connections to databases stored on NFS mounted
# drives are redirected to a Firebird server running on the computer that
# "owns" the disk.
# This restriction prevents two different copies of Firebird from opening
# the same database without coordinating their activities. Uncoordinated
# access by multiple copies of Firebird will corrupt a database. On a local
# system, the system-level file locking prevents uncoordinated access to
# the database file.
#
# NFS does not provide a reliable way to detect multiple users of a file on
# an NFS mounted disk. If a second copy of Firebird connects to a database on
# an NFS mounted disk, it will corrupt the database.
# Under some circumstances, running a Firebird server on the computer that
# owns NFS mounted volumes is inconvenient or impossible. Applications that
# use the "embedded" variant of Firebird and never share access to a database
# can use this option to permit direct access to databases on NFS mounted
# volumes.
#
# The situation for SMB/CIFS is quite similar to NFS with not all configurations
# providing file locking mechanisms needed for safe operation. Using SuperServer
# engine with the database on NT file server may be considered relatively safe
# as file locking protects the database from being used by the several engines.
# Network stack can still change order of writes so you may get a corrupted
# database in case of network errors or power outage.
#
# The useful and safe case is working with a shared database marked read-only.
#
# DO NOT ENABLE THIS OPTION UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
#
# Type: boolean
#
#RemoteFileOpenAbility = 0
# ----------------------------
# Temporary space management
#
# Temporary storage is used by the sorting module, it's also
# intended to store temporary datasets etc.
#
# The parameters below handle the allocation and caching policy
# for the temporary space manager. In previous Firebird versions,
# they were prefixed with "SortMem" instead of current "Temp".
#
# The smallest block size being allocated in the temporary storage.
# This value reflects the allocation granularity.
#
# Type: integer
#
#TempBlockSize = 1M
#
# The maximum amount of the temporary space that can be cached
# in memory.
#
# For Classic servers, this setting is defaulted to 8 MB.
# Although it can be increased, the value applies to each client
# connection/server instance and thus consumes a lot of memory.
#
# Type: integer
#
#TempCacheLimit = 64M
# ----------------------------
#
# This group of parameters determines what plugins will be used by firebird.
# Format of string is the list of plugins, separated by space, ',' or ';'.
# Plugins will be tried in an order, specified here.
# In many cases correct order is important!
#
# Type: string
# AuthServer and AuthClient determine what authentication methods will be used
# by network server and client redirector. Secure remote passwords plugin
# is default one. Except configured by default SRP plugin firebird also has
# Legacy_Auth plugin which is used to emulate pre-FB3 login protocol making it
# possible for client to talk to old servers and for server to listen to requests
# from old clients. Legacy_Auth is VERY unsecure. On windows Win_Sspi plugin may
# be also used - it implements windows trusted authentication and backward
# compatible with 2.1 and 2.5 clients and servers running on windows.
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
#AuthServer = Srp
#
# Per-connection and per-database configurable.
#
#AuthClient = Srp, Win_Sspi, Legacy_Auth
#
# If you need to use server plugins that do not provide encryption key (both Legacy_Auth
# & Win_Sspi) you should also turn off required encryption on the wire with WireCrypt
# configuration parameter except when working with the XNET protocol which is never encrypted.
#
# UserManager sets plugin used to work with security database. If more than
# one plugin is given, first plugin from the list is used by default. If you
# need to manage legacy logins using legacy tools set it to Legacy_UserManager.
# Other managers may be chosen in create/alter/drop user commands.
#
# Per-database configurable.
#
#UserManager = Srp
# TracePlugin is used by firebird trace facility to send trace data to the user
# or log file in audit case.
#
#TracePlugin = fbtrace
# Wire crypt plugins are used to crypt data transferred over the wire.
# In default case wire is encrypted using Alleged RC4
# (key must be generated by auth plugin).
#
# Per-connection configurable.
#
#WireCryptPlugin = Arc4
# Key holder is a kind of temp storage for DB crypt keys.
# There is no default for this kind of plugins.

#KeyHolderPlugin =
# ----------------------------
#
# Ability to use encrypted security database
#
# If one relies on network encryption feature with crypt key generated
# by authentication plugin (like SRP does) to transfer database crypt
# keys over the wire then use of encrypted security databases is a kind of
# vicious circle. In order to send DB crypt key over the wire in secure way
# wire transfers should be already encrypted but this requires wire crypt key
# from authentication plugin which needs to open security database for hash
# validation which in turn requires DB crypt key. Luckily in most cases there
# is no big need to encrypt security database - it protects itself quite well
# if you use high quality passwords. But in some cases it's desired to have
# security database encrypted, for example if one wants to use self security
# database feature for encrypted database. In that case special care should be
# taken to encrypt that key before passing it to server using callback. Make
# sure your keys are well encrypted before enabling this parameter. Take into
# account that with AllowEncryptedSecurityDatabase=TRUE unencrypted by firebird

# Relaxing relation alias checking rules in SQL

# using the relation name, where an alias has been specified for that relation.
#
# For example, it allows a query such as:
# SELECT TABLE.X FROM TABLE A

# It is not recommended to enable this setting. It should be regarded as an

# point of view. Imagine, you have one carefully protected firebird server,
# access to which is possible from global net. But in case when this server
# has access to your internal LAN (may and should be restricted,
# but often possible), it will work as a gateway for incoming requests like:
# firebird.your.domain.com:internal_server:/private/database.fdb
# It's enough to know name/IP of some internal server on your LAN, and for
# this connection one even need not know login/password on external server.
# Such gateway easily overrides firewall, installed to protect your LAN
