title: DataZen - Data Connection cannot connect to SQL Server
body: <p>I'm trying to create a data connection in DataZen to SQL Server 2014, but for any reasons it cannot connect.</p>
  
  <p>My connection settings in SQL-Server:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/33A92.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/33A92.jpg" alt="SQL Server 2014"></a></p>
  
  <p>I want to connect to the adventureworks database in DataZen:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/eBfne.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/eBfne.jpg" alt="Data Connection"></a></p>
  
  <p>But every time I get the following error:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zod79.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zod79.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I am really desperate right now and appreciate every tip. I tried with "secure connection" and without, also with username and without.
  The admin-user in DataZen is called "admin". But I don't think, that this makes any difference?!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much! </p>
