Hi all:

 

I’m on postgres 9.0.18. Want to enable SSL for the DB connections.

The binaries are build including the openssl.

 

I modified the postgresql.conf – for ssl=on.

Copied the server.crt in the  data folder.

Modified pg_hba.conf  - to add:

“hostssl  all         all        0.0.0.0/0       md5”

 

Getting the following errors in the logs when I start DB:

FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user "myuser", database "mydb", SSL off

 

Can someone share the right procedure to enable SSL on client?

I’ve created ~/.posgresql directory and added the client.crt and server.key.

Hi Jayashree,

I was recently setting this up, if i remember correctly to get the client to use SSL, i set the  PGSSLMODE environment variable to prefer or require.

Unfortunately I don’t work with that system anymore so i cannot just look at the settings.

Let me know if that helps.
