title: How can I establish connectivity between Tableau and SQL Server?
body: <p>I have a Windows machine with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and Tableau Desktop installed. From SSMS I can connect to a database on another machine. However, when I try to connect to the same database from Tableau Desktop I get the following error.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Could not connect to server</p>
    
    <p>[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]SSL Provider: The client and
    server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common
    algorithm. </p>
    
    <p>[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server]Client unable to establish
    connection</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried to update the SQL Server drivers on the machine but they are already updated to the latest version. How can I establish connectivity between Tableau and SQL Server?</p>
