    Unfortunately I do not have access to run this. I have very restricted access to the database.

    I believe the problem is with the vertica driver I am using. 

    I have vertica-jdbc-7.0.1-0.jar with me. Is this version having some issues?

    Hi

     

    Did any upgrade was performed recently on the same cluster? Just for your information a requirement of the 7.1 use of the new SHA512 security algorithm is to change user password before user can be authenticated.

     

    Has the user password been updated recently? If not you can find the details in our documentation.

    Please see the following URL:http://my.vertica.com/docs/7.1.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/AdministratorsGuide/Security/ClientAuth/UpgradeConsiderationsForHashAuthentication.htm?Highlight=sha

     

    After performing this try reconnection and let me know how it goes.

     

     

    Regards
