Can't connect to MSSQL with ETL connector (Windows Authentication)

[Graph_Rich]

Hello,
I'm using the following setup:

• sqljdbc41.jar in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.0 for SQL Server\sqljdbc_6.0\enu\jre7"
• sqljdbc_auth.dll in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64"
• Connection URL (with server and db set to my server and db)
  • jdbc:sqlserver://servername:3183;databaseName=db_name;integratedSecurity=true

and getting the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you put the jar file in the neo4j plugins folder?
I also think you will need to use a newer driver that support JDK 11, e.g. Download - JDBC Driver for SQL Server | Microsoft Docs

Thank you for the suggestions/tips David.
I updated the SQL JDBC driver to mssql-jdbc_auth-9.4.0.x64.dll.
Can you confirm it should go in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" ?
I also placed the corresponding jar in both the .../plugin-sources and .../plugin-versions subfolders of:
C:\Users<username>.Neo4jDesktop\relate-data
which was my best guess at the plugins folder.
Can you confirm that as well?

Not sure if I'm following your suggestions exactly.

Anyway, now I get:

"Connection failed. SQL state: 08S01, message: This driver is not configured for integrated authentication. ClientConnectionId:c96329e9-f907-4325-9c9d-f4cc6a99ecdd"

Any other guidance would be appreciated for sure.

This has been solved now.

Two problems that needed to be resolved:

• Windows authentication hadn't actually been enabled on the SQL instance after all, so trimmed "integratedSecurity=true" from connection string.
• Also, needed to place the windows sql server driver in "C:\Windows\System32" instead of " C:\Windows\ SysWOW64"
