I'm getting following error when try to migrate db in my local machine DB:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. 
(provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)

Application startup exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process.

SQL server likely don't have a CA signed certificate installed in your local SQL machine trusted root store.

If you are using Encrypt=True in the connection string, either set that to off (not recommended), or add the following in the connection string:
TrustServerCertificate=True
SQL Server will create a self-signed certificate if you don't install one for it to use, but it won't be trusted by the caller since it's not CA-signed, unless you tell the connection string to trust any server cert by default.
