There's nothing to configure except

- driver name - org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver
- jdbc URL - jdbc:firebirdsql:host/port:/path/to/db.fdb
- user name - your user, SYSDBA for example
- password - corresponding password, masterkey in case of SYSDBA
- dialect - net.sf.hibernate.dialect.InterbaseDialect for Hibernate 2.0 and
org.hibernate.dialect.FirebirdDialect for Hibernate 3.0.

You can check Hibernate tutorial on how and where to set these parameters.
