UPDATE : I managed to find the solution so I will post it here for any others that have the same issue :
We had to instrall a new ODBC driver and to modify the MS SQL connection string. Old string : uri = mssql://DRIVER={SQL Server} New string : uri = mssql://DRIVER={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server} We then ran into problems with web2py trying to recreate the auth tables which already existed. gluon.contrib.pypyodbc.ProgrammingError: ('42S01', "[42S01] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]There is already an object named 'auth_user' in the database.") I found that this error message was somehow related to the files in the databases folder within the application on the web2py server. I thought that this folder was only used when connecting to a MySQL database, but I now see that it is also referenced somewhere for the auth tables when using a shared MS SQL database. As a test, I renamed the databases folder under the web2py application (as a backup), and then copied over a databases folder from a freshly created web2py application. I then ran my MSSQL web2py application and it ran correctly. Hope this helps someone ;) On Friday, June 19, 2020 at 7:44:53 AM UTC+2, Davidiam wrote: > > Good Morning, > > I would like to know what I would have to modify in order to connect to MS > SQL from web2py with TLS 1.2.
