I just want to run logstash with using JDBC plugin but I'm unable to connect to the server. Below is error that I receive. I tried some ways suggested in [github](https://github.com/Microsoft/mssql-jdbc/issues/879) but my problem isn't being solved.

Please let me know if you have faced such issues before and hopefully some pointer to fix this as well 🙂

```auto
Unable to connect to database. Tried 1 times
{:error_message=>"Java::ComMicrosoftSqlserverJdbc::SQLServerException: The driver could not
establish a secure connection to SQL Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error:
\"Unexpected rethrowing\"."}

```

Specs

```auto
mssql-jdbc-7.4.1.jre11.jar
java version "1.8.0_231"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_231-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.231-b11, mixed mode)
