When using TLS this driver is not a option. I am trying to use the MS Generic Driver with Kerberos Authentication. I am receiving the following error message: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Integrated authentication failed. ClientConnectionId:f7ce601f-e7b6-4341-bc86-41da2dab4655 . Can someone help with how to connect to a SQL DB that is using TLS. The DB is on Windows and the HF I am using DB Connect on is RHEL 6.

make sure the krb5.conf is in the path that is provided in the JVM options.

If the krb5.conf file is not in the /etc directory, set the following option in JVM Options under the Settings tab: -Djava.security.krb5.conf=/path/to/krb5.conf
