Situation:

MS-SQL Server <--> Local Network <-- VPN --> Google Kubernetes <--> Pod (sql-client)

  • our local network is connected via VPN to our Google Kubernetes cluster
  • the ms-sql server is running in our local network
  • one pod tries to open one instance of this ms-sql server

Problem:

I'm not able to create a connection via tcp:IP\instance_name. I tried all possible variant forms of spelling (\, \, /, //, /, ...)

But if I try to connect via tcp:IP,PORT, it is working. At the moment I'm not able to configure the server to use a static port. This means I need a solution with the instance-name.

Error-messages

Note:

  • We captured the network-traffic with wireshark. While trying the connection via instance-name, we are able to see that the client and the server exchange the port correctly. But after that the client sends a package with ACK: true and Fin: true (directly after that the connection is closed)
  • The connection string works out of a windows-pc
  • this is the container-image used for testing: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-mssql-tools
