Environment

Secondary Hub with probe HA configured with Microsoft SQL server

Cause

The probe data engine parameters is configured with Integrated Security=SSPI

parameters = Network Library=dbmssocn;Language=us_english;Integrated Security=SSPI

This parameters is the same as Integrated Security=true;

This parameters force the secondary hub to connect to the Database as windows user authentication.

Resolution

Remove the Integrated Security=SSPI from the parameters on the data_engine.cfg on the HA hub.

change this line:

parameters = Network Library=dbmssocn;Language=us_english;Integrated Security=SSPI

to

parameters = Network Library=dbmssocn;Language=us_english

Restart the data_engine probe.
