+# Configuring the Auditor SQL Server Connection Using TLS 1.2
+
+## Overview
+
+This article describes how to configure Netwrix Auditor and SQL Server to communicate via a secure channel using TLS 1.2. For background on TLS 1.2 and SQL Server compatibility, see [TLS 1.2 Support for Microsoft SQL Server ⸱ Microsoft](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135244/tls-1-2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server). If you encounter the following error when using the **Search** function in Netwrix Auditor, follow the instructions below:
+
+```
+Sql Server error occurred (18, [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake().]SSL Security error.)
+```
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Enable TLS 1.2 on both servers. Use the Microsoft guide to configure it: [Enabling TLS 1.2 ⸱ Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2).
+2. Ensure the Netwrix Auditor host trusts the certificate used for the connection.
+3. Ensure the Auditor host has one of the following drivers installed, listed in order of preference:
+   - Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server
+   - Microsoft OLE DB Driver 18 for SQL Server
+   - SQL Server Native Client (SNAC), version 2011.110.7001.00 or later
+
+   > **NOTE:** Microsoft deprecated SQL Server Native Client, including SQLNCLI and SQLNCLI11, and removed it in SQL Server 2025.
+
+4. If the required driver is not installed, download and install the [Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server ⸱ Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/download-oledb-driver-for-sql-server).
+5. Restart the **Netwrix Auditor Archive Service**.

-# How to Make Netwrix Auditor Upload Data to SQL Using TLS 1.2
-
-## Overview
-
-This KBA describes a process of configuring Netwrix and SQL Server to communicate via the secure channel - TLS version 1.2.
-
-## Instructions
-
-Here is an example of an error you may encounter while using the Search function in Netwrix Auditor:
-
-```
-Sql Server error occurred (18, [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake().]SSL Security error.)
-```
-
-![Error Message Example]./../0-images/servlet_image_c2e8b90bb7b7.png)
-
-1. Make sure TLS 1.2 is enabled on both servers. Use this Microsoft guide to configure it: [How to enable TLS 1.2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2).
-2. To find the version of Native Client, start the ODBC Administrator on the Netwrix Auditor host. Right-click the **Start** button and then choose **Run**. In the Run window, type the following, followed by **Enter**: `odbcad32.exe`.
-3. Check the Version column under the Drivers tab.

-
-4. If the version is lower than "2011.110.7001.00", download and install the **64-bit version** of [SQL Native Client](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50402) on the Netwrix Auditor host.
-5. Restart the **Netwrix Auditor Audit Archive Service**.
