Microsoft SQL server Login failed for user "x"

Hi everybody,

In this last 2 days i am trying everything to connect my Microsoft sql DB to KNIME with

  • Microsoft SQL server connecter

  • DB connecter nodes

It always gives the same error: Login failed for user "x"

Database, instance, port names are all correct (doubled check from sql server with queries) and i can access to this DB with SQL management studio and power bi without problem. I have a KNIME 5.11.1. and DB SQL19

What i tried so far with Windows authentication/user and password options:

  • Creating all the parameters of parameters that i see in the management studio connection page as they are setted.

  • I also tried it with encrypt and trustserver=true

  • Downloading and implementing JDBC Driver for SQL with integratedSecurity=true and none/authentication

  • using JDBC parameters nodes

  • I read kinda every solution i saw in knime forum.

  • I went to knime log and the error is this:
