While saving connection getting error: There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID 57cb497db88fde58).

Trying to connect to Microsoft SQL DB windows authentication.
I have installed java 8 and set the environment variables, placed db drivers(Install the SQL Server using MS Generic driver with Windows authentication) in Splunk\etc\apps\splunk_app_db_connect\drivers.

Created new identity and when trying to set connection it throwing the above error. And not letting me to query

Splunk DB Connect version 3.3.0
verified port and IP

Any help is appreciated!!!

I found this the hard way testing from a windows system going to a sql server, but the *_auth.dll (mssql-jdbc_auth-8.2.2.x64.dll in my case) file has to be placed in the proper location as well as the driver .jar file placed in the drivers folder. The section “Install the SQL Server database driver using a SQL server authentication”, Section 2. These directions were pretty easy to look over.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.3.1/DeployDBX/Installdatabasedrivers#Microsoft_SQL_Serve...

In step 2 it also talks about the user that is used to connect being the service account splunk is running under. If that is localsystem then the machine account computername$ would be used to connect to the sql instance. It does not use the credentials specified in the identity assigned identity.

I tested also with the jTDS Driver and that did exactly what one would expect and worked seamlessly.

i'm having the same issue... was this ever resolved?

this was resolved for me by using a sql user rather than a domain user
