Hi!
Does anybody have a solution what to do when I got "unavailable database"
when trying to connect
to Interbase (Desktop 7) from Microsoft IIS ISAPI Extension (dll)?
Exactly same code works well when calling from "standard" exe...
I am using native Interbase API with C (not C++! ->using C++ Builder 6 and
Win32 API) and I know there is exactly same
kind of issue when trying to connect using ODBC and User DSN. Wont work,
instead one should create a System DSN to allow
inetinfo to connect to database through extension dll. Now, the problem is
that I cannot figure out where
I set permissions so that direct connect from dll can work as same way..
Do I have to set SYSTEM rights somewhere in windows user policy settings
(instead than using Administrator) or must I do
something in the C code ->ie. handle windows security descriptors to set
permission to inetinfo to do it...?? ANY HELP Please!
Thank you.
