    When trying to connect to our Microsoft SQL Server repository database in Datamaker, I am receiving the following error messages: 

     

    Attempting connection 
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Encryption not supported on the client. 
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]SSL Provider: The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm. 

     

    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Client unable to establish connection 
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
