Error:

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake()).]SSL Security Error

Cause of the issue:

This issue typically occurs when Webgility Desktop is trying to connect to the database hosted on SQL Server. There can be multiple reasons for this error, some of which are mentioned below:

  • SQL Server Encryption Settings (The server is forcing encryption, but the client lacks an SSL certificate)

  • Firewall or Network Restrictions – (Security software or firewall might be blocking the TLS handshake)

  • Outdated SQL Server (Older SQL clients do not support the latest security protocols)

Steps to fix:

  • Check SQL Services Status

  • Activate SQL Protocols

  • Configure Firewall Settings

  • Create exceptions for Webgility Desktop, Scheduler, and SQL Server applications in the Windows firewall.
