Cannot Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts because of SSL Provider issue

[mkilinskidev]

Hi. I can't restore a database from artifacts on my external SQL because of issue "SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted".

Regarding this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/SQLServerPSModule/issues/35 there is a switch -TrustServerCertificate in the SQLServer module. Can you add that switch to the Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts script?

PS C:\Users\mkilinski> Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts -artifactUrl (Get-BCArtifactUrl -type OnPrem -country w1 -version 24 -select Latest) -databaseServer SRV-SQL-01 -databasePrefix 'MKI-' -databaseName 'TEST'

Full script (that I can run and repro the problem) + full output please. Thanks

[mkilinskidev]

Sorry, I thought my first comment was enough :) My SQL Server is reachable from my computer and the version is 16.0.4105.2

Script to create a new BC Container

PS C:\Admin> New-BcContainer -accept_eula -containerName test -Credential (New-Object pscredential 'dev', (ConvertTo-SecureString 'Logon2me' -AsPlainText -Force)) -auth NavUserPassword -artifactUrl (Get-BCArtifactUrl -type OnPrem -country w1 -version 24.1 -select Latest) -isolation process -updateHosts -shortcuts None -doNotCheckHealth -databaseServer srv-sql-1 -databaseCredential (Get-Credential) -databasePrefix 'TEST-' -databaseName 'test' -replaceExternalDatabases -licenseFile C:\Admin\latest.bclicense

I need to use a -TrustServerCertificate switch when the BcContainerHelper communicates with the SQL Server using SqlServer PS module. That's all...

F.ex. here: https://github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/blob/b2410696c2c9ce68b63f3ef1a65c0c09d0c58ed1/Bacpac/Remove-BcDatabase.ps1#L41C16-L44C1, I thin if we add this -TrustServerCertificate switch it will be ok.

When I use Invoke-Sqlcmd command, there is an error

PS C:\Users\mkilinski> Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance 'SRV-SQL-1' -Query 'select * from sys.sysdatabases'
Invoke-Sqlcmd : A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login
process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Invoke-Sqlcmd], SqlException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SqlExceptionError,Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PowerShell.GetScriptCommand

But if I add this switch, it is OK

PS C:\Users\mkilinski> Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance 'SRV-SQL-1' -Query 'select * from sys.sysdatabases' -TrustServerCertificate

What SQL Server are you running on the host? Does this work if you use BC23? Does it work if you set $bcContainerHelperConfig.usePwshForBc24 = $false before you run the script?

[mkilinskidev]

SQL Server Standard, version 16.0.4105.2 Same issue after set $bcContainerHelperConfig.usePwshForBc24 = $false. With BC23 same situation. With SQL2019 (15.00.2000.05) still the same.

[freddydk]

Is your SQL Server installed with a self-signed certificate for SSL communication? Could you remove that?

[mkilinskidev]

IDK how to check it. If I go to SQL Server Configuration Management, all encryptions etc. are turned off. Going through this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/configure-sql-server-encryption?view=sql-server-ver16 I didn't see, if the SQL have some certificates installed. I've checked the system register, even sp_configure T-SQL queries, nothing. I don't know, what can I do more, so why I am asking about add the TrustServerCertificate switch. I can fork the repository and make it by myself and then make a Pull Request.

[freddydk]

The problem is that the current implementation works for everyone else. Any change needs to be tested with various versions. Feel free to create a pr, which works for you - then we can test

[freddydk]

Looking The reason for this is that you have a newer version of the SqlServer powershell module on your computer. This obviously have to be supported - but without removing support for the old version of Invoke-SqlCmd. Feel free to grab the changes from my PR (link above) and test it.
