No. Connections to Interbase are completely separate from Windows login,
Windows domain login, and anything else connected to Windows except the
TCP/IP protocol. (Alternatively you could use NETBEUI or IPX as a protocol
but few do.)

All you need is the Interbase client installed and to properly construct
the database connection string which identifies the server and database
file you wish to connect to.

If you are using an application which employs the Borland Database Engine
(BDE) then this will also need to be installed and a proper alias created.
However, to use the client utilities that come with Interbase you will not
need this.
