⚠️ Breaking Change: Encrypt=False​

All ConnectionStrings in primedocs.config, which do not point to an Azure SQL DB, now need the addition Encrypt=False, i.e. the ConnectionString looks like this: "Data Source=...;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Encrypt=False"
This is caused by a new connection type, which allows us to establish a "passwordless" connection on Azure. Microsoft has introduced a breaking change here and now expects connections to always be "encrypted" by default. However, this only works if a valid TLS/SSL certificate has been stored for the SQL server. Please find further information here.
