Troubleshooting Entity Framework Core SSL Provider Errors

If you’re a developer working with Entity Framework Core, you might have encountered the frustrating issue when trying to run the command dotnet ef update database only to be greeted with an error message that reads:

This issue can be quite annoying and may halt your development process. In this guide, we'll break down the cause of this problem and how to effectively resolve it.

Understanding the Problem

What is the Error Message Indicating?

The error suggests that your application can initially connect to the SQL Server but fails during the login phase due to an SSL issue. The specific part that might catch your attention is the mention of the certificate chain not being trusted. This can happen due to various reasons, including:

An outdated or incompatible version of Entity Framework Core.

Configuration issues in your connection string.

Issues with SQL Server SSL certificates.

Your Project Configuration

Here's a snippet to show the relevant part of your configuration:

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Downgrade Your Entity Framework Core Package

The simplest and most effective solution I found is to downgrade the EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer from the preview version to a stable version that doesn't exhibit SSL issues. Specifically, switch to EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer version 6.0.6. Here's how you can do that:

Open your project in your code editor.

Locate your .csproj file.

Replace the version of Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer:

2. Reinstall Dependencies

Once you have made the change, it is also a good practice to clear and restore your packages to ensure all dependencies align with the new version:

3. Retry the Database Update

Now that you have downgraded the version and restored the packages, attempt to run your dotnet ef update database command again:

This should ideally resolve the connection issue related to SSL Provider errors.

Conclusion

Dealing with SSL issues during database updates in Entity Framework Core can be quite challenging, especially when it stems from version incompatibilities. By recognizing that downgrading to a stable package version like EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer version 6.0.6 is often the solution, you can minimize downtime and keep your development process running smoothly.
