Hi There,

I use a connection string as follows to connect to my SQL Server:

Data Source=IPADDRESS;Initial Catalog=DATABASENAME;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD;Asynchronous Processing=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Connection Timeout=60;

This works for most people connecting to it, however one user reports that they are getting an "SSL Provider: Error 31 Encryption (ssl/tls) Handshake Failed" error???

I have not set SSL on the server, however someone else may have inadvertently switched this on and I am not too clued up on this.

Could someone tell me how and where to check, and perhaps shed light on why this would work for most and not for one?
