The root cause of the issue is a mismatch between the JDBC jar files and the sqljdbc_auth.dll file. For trusted connections with MS SQL Server, the jar file calls the dll, so both versions have to match.
If you have SQL Server client installed on your machine, the easiest way to resolve this is to search for the sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc4.jar from your Microsoft SQL Server directory. You will need to copy these files into the FDM lib subdirectory folder- C:\Program Files\Grid-Tools\FastDataMasker\lib. After that, you will need to search for, and copy the sqljdbc_auth.dll file into the FDM directory folder- C:\Program Files\Grid-Tools\FastDataMasker. If you cannot find these files, please reach out to your DBA or Broadcom Support by going to https://support.broadcom.com.
