[Firebird-devel] CURRENT_USER and Windows Trusted Authentication

[Thomas S. <ts...@ib...>]

Hello,

even if it looks a bit strange when a windows user gets the owner of a 
database or database objects, I find the new windows authentication 
feature very useful. One question though ...

It's documented in the release notes that a user, who is a member of an 
administrative group, gets connected, the connection is established as 
SYSDBA and CURRENT_USER of course returns SYSDBA as well.

Anything on the plan to return the real windows user, even if it is a 
member of the administrative group? For instance, I want to keep track 
of things going on, even for "administrative" connections via WTA.

Perhaps a new context variable CURRENT_OSUSER or a new context variable 
in the SYSTEM namespace?


Just a thought.


Regards,
Thomas
