I'm still quite confuse about your question. You don't need to 'login' on a
FB Server to connect to it. Just connect. For example, you can login to a
Win NT Server and at the same time be connected to various Firebird servers.

If you can change the application to change the connect string, you can
change it to accept anything. I use to have a .ini file to keep the server
connection strings. You can use the registy also.
