I am updating Fortify SSC from 22.2 to 23.2 and I am unable to perform a successful test connection during the initial setup. This is an upgrade so the only steps that were needed was to delete the old version ssc directory and ssc.war file and past the new one. Unless I'm missing somthing, please tell me. I am installing SSC on a RHEL8 and connecting to a SQL DB. I have verified the same creds used to connect work on the db and elswhere on the network for logining in. The permissions have not changed for this account so there should be no issues there. Firewall rules never changed either.

The other setting to note is the jdbc script:

jdbc:sqlserver://<hostname>:1433;database=<db_name>;sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false

where <hostname> is the hostname of the db and <db_name> is the db name on the SQL server.

The database type is also: SQLSERVER

Please provide any potential solutions for this issue.

I also want to note that everything before the upgrade works with Fortify SSC 22.2
