hi all,
since this morning i suddenly have this message "DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)". Am using a SQL db connection and use a Microsoft account to logon. Unfortunately, the connection refuses to work ( Message=A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)

Hope you can help me out
thanks
