Subject Firebird 1.5, RC7: How to use Alias with Shadow?
Author kumasoftllc
I have been unable to figure out how to get Aliases to work with
Shadows when "DatabaseAccess = None".

I have tried the following:

1. With the "DatabaseAccess" configuration control set to "Full" I
create a database with a Shadow.

2. I then add a new entry to aliases.conf to set up an Alias for the
database.

3. I then change the "DatabaseAccess" configuration control
to "None" and restart the server.

4. I then attempt to connect to the database using the Alias name
created in step 2. This results in the error "Access to database
shadow....is denied by the server administrator"

5. Since Aliases cannot be used during database and/or shadow
creation I attempted the opposite...entering the shadow's full path
and name as a second Alias in alias.conf, however, I still cannot
connect (the same error is returned).

How do I get Aliases to work with Shadows when I configure the
server to only accept Alias names for connections (DatabaseAccess =
None)?

Thanks,

Bob.
