4. If you haven't done so already, upgrade your security database. Instructions are in the security chapter of the release notes.
5. Make sure your database utility knows it has to connect to security2.fdb, not isc4.gdb or security.fdb
6. Try connecting to a Firebird database, e.g., c:\Progr~01\Firebird\Firebird_2\examples\empbuild\employee.fdb. Tip: it is a lot simpler if you use a database alias.
7. Try testing with isql instead of a third-party client application. You might need to upgrade your third-party application.
