    I have tried to use JDBC Driver Version 4.2 in Ubuntu 14.04 and Oracle jdk 1.8 but I get an error of Unsatisfied link error, it seems the driver is searching for sqljdbc_auth.so, and only sqljdbc_auth.dll is provided. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

    By the way .... Trying to integrate SQL Server with Java application running on Glassfish turned out to be a complete failure. It is working great with MySQL but trying to connect it with JDBC (sql4jdbc.jar) to SQL Server is literally a nightmare! Here is very detail description of the problem: stackoverflow.com/.../invalidkeyspecexception-on-deploying-ear-file-containing-entitybeans-and-using ... But in a short, all I get from this "Integration exercise" is this entry in a Glassfish log file: Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: The driver could not establish a secure connection to SQL Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error: "Server key". ClientConnectionId:a3f21831-fbc0-491c-9691-2b28500d7d2b Error Code: 0. Please see server.log for more details. ... Apparently caused by: Caused by: java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Unknown KeySpec type: java.security.spec.ECPublicKeySpec No idea what to do.

    Even the latest JDBC driver V 4.2 is not supporting the CBC Protection. Database connections are refused when CBC Protection is turned ON as the JDBC drivers are not supporting. Could someone please let us know if this is even on the roadmap of MSFT to resolve this defect? We have been awaiting since V 3.8 - 3.9 - 4.0 - 4.1 and now 4.2. But none of the versions has the fix for this defect.
