The neo4j cypher shell and the browser connections are working but the golang client connection is not working - neo4j

Question

I have disabled the authentication on my neo4j server, so I can connect using the cypher shell using no credentials as it follows and is working.
$ ./bin/cypher-shell -a 192.168.0.89
This is how I'm declaring my driver and the session, I also tried using neo4j://* instead of bolt://*:
driver, err := neo4j.NewDriver("bolt://192.168.0.89:7687", neo4j.NoAuth())
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
defer driver.Close()
session, _ := driver.NewSession(neo4j.SessionConfig{AccessMode: neo4j.AccessModeWrite})
defer session.Close()
But that doesn't work either. I'm getting this error when running the hello world from the neo4j olang driver page https://neo4j.com/developer/go/
TLS error: Remote end closed the connection, check that TLS is enabled on the server
There are the logs of the server when it starts:
2021-03-07 23:17:23.227+0000 INFO ======== Neo4j 4.2.3 ========

dbms.windows_service_name=neo4j
Again, I can connect to the same host and the browser is also working fine:
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Answer 1

Adding to your answer: it is likely you're using the v1.x of the Go driver. If you switch to using the v4.x driver instead, you will not have to specify this config value.
You can upgrade by simply adding v4 in your import statement like so:
import github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver/v4/neo4j

Answer 2

For anyone looking for the answer, the bolt driver will try to use TLS by default and since in my case is not configured, the encryption needs to be disabled in the driver constructor call.
driver, err := neo4j.NewDriver("bolt://192.168.0.89:7687", neo4j.NoAuth(), func(c *neo4j.Config) { c.Encrypted = false })
Hope this helps other people experiencing the same issue :)
