[Firebird-net-provider] firebird embedded on OS X with Mono

[Yin-So C. <yin...@gm...>]

Hi all -

I am trying to embed firebird (the current version) with Mono on OS X for
development. After looking through what I can find I came up against this
error:

Using Firebird Failed: FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException: cannot
attach to password database ---> cannot attach to password database
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
  at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal.Connect ()
[0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check)
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal:Connect ()

  at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection.Open () [0x00000] in

I tried to make a copy of security2.fdb and place it next to fbembed to no
avail, and removing User ID/Password gives me a different error that says
the connection string is either invalid or required arguments missing.

This is my current connection string.

ServerType=1;User
ID=sysdba;Password=masterkey;Database=localhost:/opt/test.fdb

And my current build directory layout.

/the_app.exe
/firebird.conf
/firebird.log
/firebird.msg
/libfbclient.dylib
/libfbembed.dylib
/libib_util.dylib
/libicudata.dylib
/libicui18n.dylib
/libicuuc.dylib
/security2.fdb
/intl/*
/udf/*


Any pointers for the cause and how I can proceed is greatly appreciated.
