Splunk DB Connect 2: Why am I getting Internal Server Error trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2012?

Having an issue connecting to MS SQL server 2012 (local). Error : "⚠ Internal Server Error"

Here is my db_connections.conf file modified:

[splunkcn]
connection_type = mssql
database = ZiteDB
host = CAWCDELL158\SQLEXPRESS
identity = splunkDB
jdbcUseSSL = 0
jdbcUrlFormat = jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<host>:<port>/<database>;useCursors=true;domain=<domain_name>;useNTLMv2=true
domain_name = MSSQLSERVER12
disabled = 0
port = 50375

Here is my DB Connect V2 configuration: No issue on my identities screen.

App: Splunk DB Connect v2
Host: CAWCDELL158\SQLEXPRESS
Database Types: MS SQL Server Using jTDS driver
Default Database: ZiteDB
Identity: splunkDB
Port: 50375

I am suspecting the issue is in the conf file, specific to the Domain Name.
Thanks in advance.

jTDS driver is installed, as well as JRE 8.

Sam, maybe we should use DB Connect 1 until someone answers this DB Connect 2 issue.
