We have a product, written in Delphi2010, which uses an IBObjects
TIBODatabase object to connect to a Firebird2.5 database. The
TIBODatabase object has properties for username & password, required to
connect. The passwords we're using (SysDBA & two user types) are random
alpha & non-alpha characters, 32-chars long.
We have reason to suspect (though no proof at this time) that the
security of our DB mayhave been compromised. In way of prevention, we're
putting the question out ... have there been known security issues in
the Delphi/IBO/Firebird chain? Is there an upper limit on FB password
length? Are there ways to further improve our security? Any insight
would be helpful...
Thanks,
