Is sqljdbc_auth.dll valid for 8.5.20 DC

Kirk Williams March 25, 2025

The current documentation (URL below) still references renaming the JDBC driver dll file to sqljcbc_auth.dll for integrated authentication with MS SQL.

When upgrading to 8.5.20 (from 8.5.14) the DB connection functionality broke due to the Confluence app expecting mss\sql-jdbc_auth-12.8.1.x64.dll vs. sqljdbc_auth.dll. 

Do you plan to update the documentation to account for the change?

Hi @Kirk Williams 

In the mentioned documentation there is actually a note 

Starting with Microsoft JDBC Driver 8.2 for SQL Server, the driver relies on mssql-jdbc_auth-<version>-<arch>.dll instead of sqljdbc_auth.dll to use the Azure Active Directory Authentication feature. In that case, you should use the default name of the DLL file that you have downloaded. (ex: mssql-jdbc_auth-12.8.1.x64.dll) 

So this actually say that name in this case should be not changed
