Why is my Java SQL JDBC connection failing with a 'Missing sqljdbc_auth.dll' error?

Troubleshooting SQL JDBC Error: Missing dll

When working with SQL in Java, you may encounter the error message: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.AuthenticationJNI ...Failed to load the sqljdbc_auth.dll cause : no sqljdbc_auth in java.library.path." This error indicates that the sqljdbc_auth.dll is missing.

To resolve this issue, the sqljdbc_auth.dll should be added to the build path. Copy the sqljdbc_auth.dll file to the Windows/System32 folder. This ensures that the necessary library can be loaded by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Once the sqljdbc_auth.dll is placed in the System32 folder, rerun your Java program. The JDBC connection should now establish successfully without the missing dll error.
