Troubleshooting


Problem

"Cannot load client certificate error" on a valid PKCS12 client certificate keystore file, when trying to connect using ODBC with Client Authentication with SSL
 

Symptom

When using ODBC Client Authentication with SSL and pointing to a certificate file with no extension,  user gets the below error
Cannot load client certificate
The Keystore parameter (KS) in the ODBC Advanced Parameter section points to a keystore file. e.g.
C:\SSL\AVZ3
where AVZ3 is the keystore file that contains a list of the valid client certificates that are trusted by the server for optional Client Authentication with SSL
