Description

ADS adapter for Microsoft SQL Server fails to connect with error 'The authentication value "BASIC" is not valid.'  This is due to a known issue that occurs when a sqljdbc41.jar file built in 2017 is used with the adapter.

Issue/Introduction

ADS adapter for MS SQL Server fails to connect with error 'The authentication value "BASIC" is not valid.'

Environment

All supported environments.

Resolution

The CIS Administration Manual recommends using Microsoft's sqljdbc4.jar in this adapter role for all supported Microsoft SQL Server versions. A Microsoft sqljdbc41.jar file that only contains Java classes from 2015 can also be run successfully in this adapter role, but if a sqljdbc41.jar file that was built in 2017 is used, it will throw the error 'The Authentication value "BASIC" is not valid.'
