FreeTDS: MSSQL2005, SSL, Encryption, TDS v8 does not work

*** UPDATE (see >>>>> update) ***

Hi,

thanks for help!
With ALL Your hints/suggestions now I could establish a encrypted connection!
First installing all needed libs for gnutls and gnutls itself, then
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-gnutls --with-tdsver=8.0 --enable-msdblib
>>>>>update 1)
        option "--with-unixodbc" and unixodbc/isql works

To clear "undefined reference to `gnutls_........`" while make/linking I had to
[inconveniently] manually edit (for reasons of precaution all) Makefile's:
NETWORK_LIBS = -lgnutls -lgnutlsxx -lcrypto
LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib

>>>>>update 2)
        gnutls does not build/use "libgnutls-config" anymore, it must be replaced by "pkg-config gnutls"
        (see NEWS within gnutls-source-directory).
        So I changed freetds "configure" at line 23135 (approx) and then the right Makefile's are created.
           ...
           if test "$with_gnutls" = "yes"; then
                ...
          CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS `libgnutls-config --cflags`"
          NETWORK_LIBS="$NETWORK_LIBS `libgnutls-config --libs`"
                ...
           ...


>>>>>update 3)
        sometimes there are errors (freetds/tsql and unixodbc/isql), then the connection is still active
        but every next sql-command will be result in one of these errors:

                Msg 20004, Level 9, State -1, Server OpenClient, Line -1
                Read from the server failed

                Msg 20006, Level 9, State -1, Server OpenClient, Line -1
                Write to the server failed


Result:
/usr/local/freetds/bin/tsql -C
Compile-time settings (established with the "configure" script)
                            Version: freetds v0.83.dev.20090725
             freetds.conf directory: /usr/local/freetds/etc
     MS db-lib source compatibility: yes
        Sybase binary compatibility: no
                      Thread safety: yes
                      iconv library: yes
                        TDS version: 8.0
                              iODBC: no
                           unixodbc: no / yes
Connect to SQLServer and check encryption with:
SELECT session_id, net_transport, encrypt_option, auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections

Mfg Alexander

Hi,

When I went through this most recently about a month back, I had to use the
latest snapshot version rather than the Stable version.  In addition, under
Centos linux I had to use gnutls rather than openssl.

Before I did those two things I believe I had the same connection hang you
have described below, however another big difference is that I wasn't using
odbc.
