QUESTION 80
Drag and Drop Question
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
All database traffic to the SQL Server must be encrypted by using secure socket layer (SSL) certificates or the connection must be refused.
Network administrators have deployed server certificates to the Windows store of all Windows servers ortn the network from a trusted Ceificate Authority.
This is the only Certificate Authority allowed to distribute certificates on the network.
You enable the Force Encryption flag for the MSSQLServer protocols, but client computers are unable to connect.
They receive the following error message:
“A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake, (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 – The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server)”
You notice the following entry in the SQL Server log:
“A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.”
You need to configure SQL Server to encrypt all client traffic across the network.
You also need to ensure that client computers are able to connect to the server by using a trusted certificate.
