I am attempting to connect to Microsoft SQL Server using Sqoop. I have installed

  • 0

I am attempting to connect to Microsoft SQL Server using Sqoop. I have installed the JDBC driver from Microsoft by following the instructions for the Sqoop Connector and the JDBC Driver. Next I attempt to list the databases on the server. I have tried the following commands:

sqoop list-databases --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://<HOST>' --username <USER> --password <PASS>
sqoop list-databases --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://<HOST>;username=<USER>;password=<PASS>'
sqoop list-databases --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://<HOST>;username=<USER>;password=<PASS>' --username <USER> --password <PASS>

Each of these commands produces the same error messages.

I have connected to the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to ensure the database is operation and that that the host/username/password are all correct. Additionally I have ensured that the port is open and that MSSQL is on the other side with the following.

sudo nmap -sS -p 1433 <HOST>

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-01-02 11:04 PST
Nmap scan report for <HOST> (<HOST IP>)
Host is up (0.00070s latency).
rDNS record for <HOST IP: <HOST FQDN>
PORT     STATE    SERVICE
1433/tcp filtered ms-sql-s

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.33 seconds

Any suggestions on where I should go from here? I have not been able to find any documentation on this error. Thanks

I am currently attempting to verify that the SQL server is reachable using OSQL from FreeTDS. Will update this post with my findings.

    After much searching and talking to many people I have determined that this issue is being caused by the port being blocked. I am still not 100% certain why this error in particular occurred. If I try with an invalid username or password it will successfully tell me that they are invalid. It is just when it comes to making the actual query that the port is restricted. Most likely different ports are used.
