MSSQL Direct DB Connection on AWS EC2 instance - Connection Error related to SSL routines

Hi,

I am working on a website project that will be connected to a MSSQL database to dynamically generate lists/tables/PDF etc. The server model for the project is ASP.NET.

I have created a connection under ‘Server Connect Connection’ and it is working OK. However, when I try to create a ‘Direct Database Connection’ with the same server credentials, I get an error as below:

Error connecting: Failed to connect to x.x.x.x 4565007808:error:1425102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol:../../third_party/node-nw/deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/statem/statem_lib.c:1929

The MSSQL database is running on an AWS EC2 instance, which is managed by a third party IT company.

I am not sure whether there is any setting in the DB Manager that I need to configure to work with AWS. As far as I know, there’s no SSL on the server, as I have other web applications that connect to the same database without any error.

Any help in troubleshooting and resolving the issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
