Can use Integrated Security via .net but not via JDBC

I encountered an obscure issue when trying to connect to a SQL Server database using Windows Integrated Authentication from Java. My JDBC URL was correct but I kept getting the following error:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication.

And the SQL logs in the SQL server were showing the following:

SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090346, state 46 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: The Channel Bindings from this client are missing or do not match the established Transport Layer Security (TLS) Channel. The service might be under attack, or the data provider or client operating system might need to be upgraded to support Extended Protection.

The puzzling thing was that I was able to connect fine suing the system.data.sqlclient from .net and from SQL Server Management Studio from the same machine and domain account that was getting the JDBC error. In addition, Integrated Authentication was working fine when connecting to other SQL servers. So, it had to do something with that particular server. After searching in the internet, I found that the issue is due to the JDBC not implementing the Channel Binding feature needed to connect to SQL servers whose Extended Protection is turned on. The native SQL Client does implement that feature and because the system.data.sqlclient from .net and SSMS use the native SQL Client under the covers, the connection for those succeeds. The following link takes you to the issue in GitHub for this scenario: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/issues/963

Powershell script for converting JPG to TIFF

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put

Alert if file missing using Powershell

The following Powershell script can be used to send an email alert when a file is missing from a folder or it is the same file from a previous check: $path_mask = "yourfile_*.txt" $previous_file_store = "lastfileread.txt" $script_name = "File Check" ###### Functions ########## Function EMailLog($subject, $message) {    $emailTo = "juanito@yourserver.com"    $emailFrom = "alert@yourserver.com"    $smtpserver="smtp.yourserver.com"       $smtp=new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)    $smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject, $message) } Try {    #get files that match the mask    $curr_file = dir $path_mask |  select name    if ($curr_file.count -gt 0)    {        #file found        #check if the file is different from the previous file read        $previous_file = Get-Content $previous_file_store        $curr_file_name = $curr_file.Item(0).Name        if ($
