“There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID ...)“ when trying to create a DBConnect connection

When saving a new connection in DBConnect running on Windows and trying to connect to a MSSQL Server database, I'm receiving the following error:

"There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID 86d1511df962721b8)."

Of course, the ID changes every time I receive this message. Anyone had any success is resolving this issue?

Have you checked splunkd.log and the DBX logs?

Yes, I checked splunkd and the DBX logs and there was nothing that shed any light on the cause of the error.
