URL Name000035243
Article Number000124598
EnvironmentProduct: Connect/Connect64 for ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver
Platform: All supported platforms
Version: All supported versions
Database: SQL Server
Application: N/A
Question/Problem Description
When trying to connect to a SQL Server database using an SSL connection:
  • if ValidateServerCertificate is set to 0 the connection succeeds,
  • if ValidateServerCertificate is set to 1, the connection fails with the below error
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
Error Message[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver]Cannot load trust store.
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
The driver is unable to load the truststore file specified in the connection attributes either due to:
  1. permission issues where the folder of the User under which the SQL server service is running isn't accessible with their credentials
  2. incorrect/unsupported truststore format.
Resolution
1.   Verify the driver/user account running the application has permissions to access the trust store file by setting the access level on the file to 777, and setting the file owner  to 'root'.
At best, move the truststore file to /tmp folder on Unix and set the file permissions to 777.
2.  Remove the HostNameInCertificate parameter from the data source in the odbc.ini file.
3.  Verify the steps to create the truststore file were correct, and recreate the file.
