I am trying to create a Linked Service on ADF for SHIR (this is up and connected to ADF) and when i fill in all details and click Test Connection. I get this error message:

Cannot connect to SQL Database. Please contact SQL server team for further support. Server: 'XXX', Database: 'AdventureWorksLT2022', User: 'XXX'. Check the linked service configuration is correct, and make sure the SQL Database firewall allows the integration runtime to access.

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

No process is on the other end of the pipe

NOTE: The SQL Server instance is running and SHIR is fine.

    Have you checked the SQL Server error log for messages that coincide with the login failures?

    Can you connect with SSMS?

    1. Your Credential are correct username and password, you can get username by entering in command prompt.
    2. Your SQL database is under firewall rule and allow it to use SHIR.
    3. Could you please try to connect it with SSMS?

    Solution: Thanks for your input. I see it had logged an error for login attempt in sql server log. I followed the stackoverflow link on fixing "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8441158/an-attempt-to-login-using-sql-authentication-failed" and with the security changes with enabling mixed mode server authentication, it worked. Thanks.

    If I missed anything please let me know and I'd be happy to add it to my answer, or feel free to comment below with any additional information.

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
