I am looking to put a demo of an application that I have developed onto a
web site. Obviously I will need to include Firebird as part of the download.

For the user account, at the moment I just use the default sysdba username
and password, which is hardcoded into the application.

What would you recommend is the best way to set up the connection to the
database from the application? Can you control the user accounts when they
install Firebird, or create a new user account? Should I hardcode the
username/password into the application? Should I just use the default sysdba
username/password?

I have only just understood that the user authentication is not database
specific, which complicates things.

Thanks,
Stephen
