When trying to connect to our SQL servers you may receieve the following error:

SqlException (0x80131904): A connection
        was successfully established with the
        server, but then an error occurred during
        the login process. (provider: SSL
        Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain
        was issued by an authority that is not
        trusted.)]

This is happening due to the setup of our hosting, all the traffic between the web servers and the database occurs internally using an internal IP address, due to this the SSL certificate does not match.

To resolve the above error please add the following line onto the end of your database connection string:

Encrypt=false;
