<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">Firebird
3 supports multiple security databases. This is great feature, but it
raises some problems, missing in systems with single security
database. Clusters of databases, using same security database, are
efficiently separated and this is what we typically want to achieve
using different security databases. But in some cases we need
controlled limited interaction between such clusters. As an examples
can be provided EXECUTE STATEMENT ON EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE when some
data exchange between clusters is required and letting server-wide
SYSDBA access databases from other clusters using services. More or
less similar problems were already known in windows version of
firebird since v. 2.1 due to presence of trusted windows
authentication – we had 2 separate lists of users (in security
database and OS) and sometimes it was needed to make them be related.
For example it appears to be good idea to automatically assign to
windows users from some group appropriate firebird role.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><br/>

</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">Single
solution for all this problems is MAPPING login information, assigned
to user when it connected to firebird server, to internal security
objects in database – current_user and current_role. Mapping rule
contains 4 parts of information: </font>
</p>
<ul>
	<li><p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">mapping
	scope (is mapping local for current database or affects all
	databases in cluster, including security database),</font></p>
	<li><p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">mapping
	name (mappings are named like all the other objects in database), </font>
	</p>
	<li><p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">from
	what we map </font>
	</p>
	<li><p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">to
	what we map.</font></p>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font size="4" style="font-size: 14pt">Here
it's necessary to mention that all versions of firebird had one
hardcoded global default rule – users authenticated in security
database are always mapped into any database one-to-one. This rule is
safe - if we have some security database it makes no use not to trust
itself. Therefore (and due to backward compatibility) this rule is
kept as is in firebird 3. What about mapping windows users to
current_user (which was enabled by default in 2.1 &amp; 2.5 when
trusted authentication enabled) in firebird 3 it must be done
explicitly. This is required for systems with multiple security
databases - not all of them need/use windows trusted authentication.</font></p>

plugin (but not a result of previous mappings), or make it work only
with server-wide plugins, or make it work only with previous mapping
results, or let it use any method using asterisk. In almost all cases
(except server-wide authentication which is not related with
databases) one can also provide name of database in which name from
which mapping is performed was “born”. FROM clause must set
required parameter – type of name from which mapping is done. When
mapping names from plugins type is defined by plugin, when previous
mapping results - type can be only user or role. One can provide
explicit name which will be taken into an account by this mapping or
use ANY keyword to work with any name of given type. In TO clause
USER or ROLE (to what mapping is done) must be specified, name is
optional - when it is not provided original name (from what mapping
is done) is used.</font></p>

Global mapping works best if firebird 3 or higher version database is

security one (using for example your own provider) please create in
it table RDB$AUTH_MAPPING with structure repeating one in firebird 3
