Yes, I have tested that the connection and it does work without SSL. I have also verified with openssl that all the certificates have the same CN, issuer, etc. I am working in a development environment, hence the seemingly odd file location. It may not seem that way, but I am narrowing down the issues. My original post was about connecting using SSL inside a Visual Studio console app. I also initially inquired about, and someone else also suggested, attempting to connect outside of the console app, just using psql with the certificates. That would to remove any issues that may be arising with references inside the console app. So I still think trying to connect using psql is something relatively simple worth trying. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/SSL-Certificates-in-Windows-7-Postgres-9-3-tp5830749p5831022.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
