This means your SQL Server version is ancient and does not support TLS 1.2 or 1.3, meanwhile support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 has been disabled by default for a few years now. Similar to what's going on in this thread: [Unable to connect to SQL Server 2000 - #9 by PGriffith](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/unable-to-connect-to-sql-server-2000/42247/9) ---

See if my notes on a solution for SQL Express 2005 are relevant. > [@SQL Express 2005 database connection ideas?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/sql-express-2005-database-connection-ideas/78728/18): > > Thank you so much for the extra trouble with the screenshots. I hadn't found any reference to jTDS in my previous searches and, if I had, I'm not sure that I could have worked out the configuration.

You can either upgrade the TLS, or edit an specific file in the gateway to allow TLS 1.
