title: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 using ODBC connection via system dsn on windows 2012
body: <p>I have Windows 2012 server and I am able to connect to a SQL Server 2008 instance through Visual Studio Server Explorer by creating a data connection. I can also use SQL Server Management Studio and connect to that SQL Server. But for some reason when I try to connect using the ODBC Data Source Administrator to set up a DSN I get the following error.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connection Failed:<br>
    SQLState: '01000'<br>
    SQL Error: 1<br>
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (SECCreateCredentials()).<br>
    Connection failed:<br>
    SQLState: '08001'<br>
    SQL Error: 18<br>
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SSL Security error</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I can't seem to find anything about this specifically and wondering if anyone out there is familiar with a this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I would add that neither the client nor the server enforce encryption so its a little confusing to me that I would be getting an ssl related error.</p>
