[mariuz]

For Firebird 3 we need Protocol 13 (SRP) like is implemented in the pyfirebird driver

Is this task still pending?

Firebird server side implementation https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/B3_0_Release/src/auth/SecureRemotePassword/srp.cpp

Debug facility https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/mailman/message/37168911/

In Srp plugin we have debugging facility:

define SRP_DEBUG 0 // 1 - prints some debug info

                     // 2 - uses consts instead randoms

Using it at level 1 (special FB build on lnux needed) you can at once see what happens on server (and compare with use of fbclient). If it's not enough - use of level 2 required changes at client side (random numbers should be replaced with predefined constants thus making process of authentication exactly reproducible). With it and some debugging printout on client all SRP behavior becomes abs clear.
