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

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 ...

How to create online multiplayer HTML5 games in Contruct2

  Construct2 can use websockets to send and receive messages between games. By using socket-io , we can use a Node.js script as the server and my modification to the socket-io plugin for Construct2 to allow the games to synchronize data between them in real-time. There are two parts to this design: the Node.js server and the Construct2 clients (the games playing). The main part of building an online multiplayer HTML5 game is to plan: how the clients will communicate how often and what to communicate how much of the logic will go into the server and how much to the client. In my sample game, I chose to have each client own a player and have the server just relay messages: Use string messages in the form TypeOfMessage, Parameter1, Paremeter2, Parater3, etc to communicate. Have the clients send their player position about 16 times a second. Whenever their player shoots, the client needs to send a message immediately. Almost all of the game logic will...

How to use Windows SSO with OpenXava

One of the nice things about the .NET web environment is the dead easy way to implement Single Sign On in your web apps through Active Directory authentication. In the Java world there are multiple alternatives to use Windows’ Single Sign On with Java based web apps. One of those alternatives is Waffle . Waffle allows your Java web app to authenticate against Active Directory groups (and users). The only caveat is that your web server needs to be running in Windows, which kind of makes sense. In this article, you will learn the steps required to have your OpenXava web application use Waffle to authenticate your Windows users. The first step is to download Waffle from their site and then copy the JAR files outlined in https://github.com/dblock/waffle/blob/master/Docs/tomcat/TomcatSingleSignOnValve.md to the OpenXava’s tomcat server. In your OpenXava project, create servlets.xml in the Web-inf, containing the following: <!-- the role name (the domain gorup) must be e...
