Also, yes, server.crt is in the 'data' directory of my postgres server, as is
server.key.
And, yes, when I am able to start Postgres (when using 'trust' in the
pg_hba.conf file vs. 'md5'), I do so the 'SSL connection' line:
It's only when I change the connection method to 'md5' that I'm running into
problems -- then I cannot connect from pgadmin or the command line.
I just went through setting up SSL on the windows postgresql server and here
are two other things to check:
Did you restart the postgresql service after making the changes? (I'm not
sure how to issue a reload with the windows version.)
Also, did you make sure that server.crt and server.key are accessible for read
by the account under which the postgresql service is running?
After verifying both of those, I got a working SSL connection under windows:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin>psql -U postgres postgres
Password for user postgres:
