Sorry, but even in existing variant I do have mixed mode.
The only disadvantage using IbExpert is that it asks additional question
to confirm connection with empty login and password. When I confirm -
yes, try without this DPB parameters, it connects without problems. If I
fill (for example) sysdba and masterkey, I attach as SYSDBA.
And certainly IbExpert was not rewritten.
