Certifiticate problem w enterprise gateway import mode, when direct mode works ok
I found the link within the refresh history on the gateway to be helpful. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex6y04yf%28V=VS.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In short, I was using the server shortname but the cert had the FQDN. So i used the FQDN in the connection so that the connection string matches the cert. Was a very simple fix.
You can obtain your FQDN by typing the following into PowerShell:
[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName))
If you run that from the SQL server host, it will give the FQDN.
Thank you. I was able to find the FQDN (assuming it is the HostName) - I have entered this as my server but I am now getting an error that it is unable to connect "cannot connect to the server". Again it works fine when using direct query, just not on import. looks like you were having the same issue, did you find resolution?
I had to set an SSL certificate against the SQL Server. When you install the Enterprise Gateway, it creates an SSL certificate on the local server. If you have installed the Enterprise Gateway on the SQL server, you can assign the SSL certificate through SQL Server Configuration Manager.
SQL Server Network Configuration > Right click > Properties > Certificate > Select "Data Management Gateway SSL Certificate" > OK
You'll have to restart SQL services.
Should be OK after that!
