Explanation
Since version 10.2, the Microsoft JDBC SQL Driver enables TLS encryption by default (notified as "BREAKING CHANGE" on the release notes).
This breaks existing stored SQL Server connections if they rely on encryption being off (the previous default).
Solution You can either:
1. update your MSSQL JDBC connection url, appending either ";encrypt=false" or ";trustServerCertificate=true", to get back to the same security conditions as with former driver versions (this might affect the security of your database connection),
2. or set the encryption mechanism properly for your connection.
