Hi Sean,
 
I´m just beginning with this cloud thing. It would seem to me like a hassle to do that if the Azure guys wanted to make it easy. I expected like a normal remote host, but maybe you are right about having to login/open connection to access cloud resources, even a database server.
At first I tought I could get by with just hostname:databasename but "sintax" is not helping. Have to research if the Microsoft SQL Server guys dont have to login to know if it is a real "sintax" problem.
Not sure how to do that about the proxy but sounds logical. 
 
Regards,
Hector Rios

Is "scadcam.cloudapp.net:51160" how you connect to the remote cloud?

Doesn't a client need to login/open a connection to "the cloud" before you can access cloud resources?

How is port 51160 being mapped/assigned to your cloud Firebird instance?

I suspect that you need to create a "redirector" which would be installed on the remote client systems. It would login/establish a connection to the cloud and then listen on port 3050 and "proxy" the TCP messages between the client and the cloud Firebird instance.
