JDBC (JTDS) SQL Server Connection Closed after SSL Authentication

java sql-server ssl jtds

I am using the jTDS JDBC SQLServer library to connect to a SQL Server 2008 database. It always worked without SSL but once we enabled it, I haven't been able to get it to connect. I've traced the Java as seen below and checked the log on the DB side and the authentication works properly but immediately drops the connection when trying to execute the query. Anyone seen this problem?

Oracle introduced a security fix for the SSL/TLS BEAST attack that is known to interfere with Microsoft JDBC/jTDS connections.

Setting the -Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false system variable will disable the fix and potentially allow the connection.
