Troubleshooting involves several steps. First, verify the SQL Server's SSL configuration – ensure the server is configured to accept SSL connections and that the certificate is valid and trusted. Next, check the ODBC driver version; update to the latest version. Examine network connectivity between the client and server, ensuring no firewalls are blocking SSL traffic (port 443 is standard). Finally, review the SQL Server error logs for more detailed information about the handshake failure.
