Description
The JDBC Driver is not able to connect to a database with does not have TLS support (<6.2.15, <7.0.10) and has the -forceProtocolEncryption=1 parameter set.
In these cases, the following error is shown
Connection exception - Client connection must be encrypted
Workaround
- Use legacy encryption legacyencryption=1 in the connection string (JDBC DOC).
- Update the database to a version with TLS support (6.2.15+, 7.0.10+, and 7.1.0+)
Fix
For database versions without TLS support, the driver automatically switches to legacy encryption.
