SQL Server Certificates

[Anonymous]

Hi, I build powerbi reports and my SQL server is on the same laptop, running SqL Server development edition, SSMS 18.9.2. My SQL Server edition is 14.0.2037.2

I've run into a problem where my laptop closed suddenly.  When I restarted, everything was intact, except that now I can't seem to connect to my SQL Server.  This is the message I get

"Details: "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.)"

Clearly a certificate issue but how do i restore the proper certificates?  Everything worked until the laptop rebooted unexpectedly.
Thank you !

Hi @Anonymous ,

Can you connect to your SQL Server via SSMS sucessfully?

If there is no issue via SSMS, please check if this post could help you:
