Connection issue with JDBC driver

[Sushil2468]

Hi Team

I am getting connection error when trying with JDBC driver. With ODBC I am able to connect but it is very slow on our tableau server so wanted to try this. Here is the error msg:

An error occurred while communicating with the ClickHouse JDBC by ClickHouse, Inc. data source 'Untitled Data Source'
Bad Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source.
Error Code: FAB9A2C5
connect timed out, server ClickHouseNode [uri=http://clickhouse-bayerd.ds-engine-dev.sc-navigator.azure.cnb:8123/default, options={custom_http_params=join_use_nulls=1,session_id=tableau-jdbc-connector-1717421874896-98240641,typeMappings=UInt64=java.lang.String,UInt128=java.lang.String,Int128=java.lang.String,UInt256=java.lang.Double,Int256=java.lang.Double,socket_timeout=300000}]@-1240071617
Unable to connect to the ClickHouse JDBC by ClickHouse, Inc. server "clickhouse-bayerd.ds-engine-dev.sc-navigator.azure.cnb". Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested database.

Connector Class: clickhouse_jdbc, Version: 0.2.6
Taco file used is: clickhouse_jdbc_0.3.1.taco

Can someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Could you please check / select the SSL flag on the connection dialog?

[Sushil2468]

yes SSL is checked

[yurifal]

check if the DNS name ( clickhouse-bayerd.ds-engine-dev.sc-navigator.azure.cnb ) could be resolved.

nslookup clickhouse-bayerd.ds-engine-dev.sc-navigator.azure.cnb

Hi Yuri

I am able to connect through tableau desktop now by adding the sslrootcert=/Users/username/Downloads/ds-engine-dev.sc-navigator.azure.cnb.crt
But in live connection after publishing to server it gives error due to this local directory. Is there somewhere I can add it in tableau server?

The 'better place' for the cert file (common in either *nix flavour) is /etc/ssl/certs imho.

Or you may want to try the 'ssl=NONE' workaround (no cert file needed):
#73

[Sushil2468]

for windows server?

[Sushil2468]

where can I find this /etc/ssl/certs path in windows server?

[yurifal]

Create the dir C:\etc\ssl\certs

Hi Yuri

Tried creating the folder on both server node machines but still same error

[Sushil2468]

tried SSL=None but not able to connect after it

[yurifal]

tried SSL=None but not able to connect after it

Did you try this (on the Desktop at least):

Solution: disable SSL in General tab, but in advanced tab add: ssl=true,sslmode=NONE

It may not work (depends on the CH server config settings).

Hi Yuri

Could you please check if placing the cert file into the C:\etc\ssl\certs
(with the proper permissions of course) would work for the Tableau Desktop at least?
If yes, do the same on the TS machine. Please check the permissions on the dir & file --
every (windows) user has to be able to reach the cert file for reading.

Thankyou so much Yuri, ssl=true,sslmode=NONE this works..

Thankyou so much Yuri, ssl=true,sslmode=NONE this works..

Nice.
