I am a newbie, like a total newbie just exploring databases for the first time.  I am using Lazarus and they all seem to prefer Firebird and lot of the documentation is geared that way.  I have successfully downloaded and installed Firebird onto ElementaryOS Loki.  I am trying to use DB Scema but can't connect to firebird from there.  I can connect to sqlite from dbscema and I can connect to firebird from Flamerobin.  I get the error:

ncompatible wire encryption levels requested on client and server Incompatible wire encryption levels requested on client and server [SQLState:28000, ISC error code:335545064]

I then followed these instruction and changed my firebird.conf file to "Wirecrypte = Enabled" as seen here:

- https://www.firebirdsql.org/ file/documentation/drivers_ documentation/java/3.0.2/ release_notes.html#notes-on- firebird-3-support

But I still can't connect.  I also tested with DBerver but have the same problem.  I downloaded and installed the java driver to version 3.0.2.  But still no success at all.  I have no idea what to do.  All the programs I have tried to use to connect to Firebird don't work and they all tell me to come here.

I would attach the firebird.conf but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.  the firebird conf that I found was in /etc/firebird/firebird3.0  I also found an other firebird.conf in /opt/firebird/.  I have no idea why there would be two of them.  I have only ever installed FB once.  I have tried changed the Wirecrypt on both, then on one then the other.  Nothing has helped.
