I apologize in advance for the following very vague question, but the 'logs' are pretty much useless.

I am trying to install Crowd 5.0 on a Microsoft server using a SQL Server database, The database appears to be correctly configured, but is refusing to connect (and that's all the log says too).

net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://*:1433/crowddb (obscured as per DOD requirements, definitely not localhost)

org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect

This is a new install so I did not check "Overwrite existing data".

The answer was to use the JRE 8 MSSQL Driver, even though the JRE is version 11.

Do not ask me why, because I do not have access to the SQL Server source code.

The DBA sent me this from the database logs. It looks like a good start:

"Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed. Please upgrade your client library."

Hello, @Robert Egan ! And welcome to the community.

I tried to run Crowd 5.0 and SQL Server 2019 in Docker and everything worked fine for me.

If I have some connection issues, I see error window, which tells me what exactly error do I have. Also in the logs I can see full stack trace. See screenshots.

Yeah, the Crowd log was pretty much useless. It just said the same this as the UI. I did have some luck from the database logs though.
