    Posted: 20 April 2017 at 2:00pm

Dear Web Wiz Forum folks,

We are new to Web Wiz Forum and just about to set up our first forum. IIS is 8.5 on Win2012R2 with the SQL server native client 11.0 installed. The SQL server is 2008 R2 including all patches for TLS 1.2. Creating an ODBC connection from the webserver to the WWZ database using the SQL native driver works fine and the tests completes successfully. This was done for testing only.
 
However, when running the WWZ installation wizard and using the same database, the connection tests fails with an SSL security error.
 
An Error Occurred Connecting to the Database
Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECCreateCredentials()).]SSL Security error.
 
Is there a solution to this?
 
Regards,
MPIDR

This is likely related to the SQL Server databases driver as Web Wiz Forums uses the 'SQLOLEDB' driver for the database connection.

I have had a look and you can change the driver from SQLOLEDB to SQL Server Native Client 11.0 by editing line 89 of the file database/database_connection.asp and change it from

Provider=SQLOLEDB;

to

Provider=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;

Dear Bruce,

Thank you very much for your reply! 

I made the changes today and noticed that I also had to change it in two more files:

setup_db_con_test.asp (line 166)
setup_database_connection.asp (line 168)

With these changes, setting up the database works well.

Regards,
MPIDR

Glad to hear that it worked.

We will look at adding an option of selecting the database driver for SQL Server for future releases.
