Hi

I am getting the following error when attempting to connect to a local MSSQL 2016 database through the Neo4j ETL Tool:

JDBC Connection
Database access requires an authenticated connection and a valid JDBC driver.

I am running my neo4j DBMS on Windows 2016 Datacenter with OpenJDK 11 and OpenJDK Zulu 11 installed. Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?

Many thanks
Tim

Can you create a GH issue with more details, i.e. which JDBC driver you've used and what the shape of your connection URL is? Including your schema and datebase name spelling (exact, uppercase, lowercase).

Hi Michael

Thank you for offering to assist. It was an issue with the JDBC drivers - I downloaded a later version and am able to connect now.
