I ran into a similar issue recently - I believe it was something to do with a change in TLS versions used by Ignition (not my forte so I can’t speak much to specifics). I believe it has to do with [this update](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/nightly-8-1-changelogs-2021/42410/77).

Check out the latest stable JDBC driver on [github](https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc), under releases on the right hand side. Latest stable is [9.2.1](https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/releases/tag/v9.2.1) at time of writing - you’ll want the jre11 version.
