Configuration for Encrypted Connections

[twright-msft]

TLS settings can be set via mssql-conf on start up or via the mssql.conf file. I'm checking to see if we also can handle these settings via environment variables...

mssql-conf:

This is not possible? I am just asking because we use it from MS Dynamics NAV containers in case of using SQL connection. We use proprietary one NAV PowerShell function that uploads a key and configures everything needed on both sides. So I suppose this could be pretty possible, isn`t it?

We're working on enabling customers to configure TLS settings for SQL Server on Linux using mssql-conf. This includes specifying which certificate to use (e.g. a PEM file), which protocols (e.g. TLS 1.2), and whether all connections should be forced to use encryption. With luck, this should be available next month.

In the meantime, if a client specifies "Encrypt=True" (or whatever the appropriate keyword is for the driver being used) in the connection string, SQL Server will encrypt the connection using a self-signed certificate.

Still open nearly 2 years later.

@twright-msft @tmullaney is there any news on this? is it possible now to specify a custom certificate through mssql-conf? and if so is there any example of how to do this?

[callalilyz]

any update on this issue ?

[pimeys]

Is there a way to get this docker image working with TLS on Catalina? I've heard problems with Azure SQL too, where the certificate is not accepted by Apple...
