Hirsh,
I understand how frustrating SQL Server connectivity issues can be, especially when dealing with something as critical as data management. The error message you’re encountering, "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process" is a common yet tricky issue that we’ve encountered and resolved multiple times in the past.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in SQL Server troubleshooting and application development, we’ve worked on various desktop applications that integrate with SQL Server, including those utilizing SQL Server Authentication and Windows Security. we’ve helped clients resolve similar connectivity issues by examining factors such as SSL configurations, authentication modes, and remote server settings.
Here’s our approach:
1. We’ll thoroughly assess the error log and your current server settings.
2. We’ll focus on resolving the SSL-related issues that are likely causing the "forcibly closed" connection.
3. We'll ensure your application connects smoothly to the database, using the most secure and reliable authentication method.
Our goal is to get you up and running quickly and ensure your system stays stable. I’m open to any adjustments along the way and we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Let’s connect to discuss your requirements in more detail so we can provide you with a solution accordingly.
Regards,
Kartik
