I am developing a Windows desktop application so the client is the desktop application. Depending on the installation, the app will be running in single user mode, with the server and client both on only one machine, using 127.0.0.1. In that type of installation, there is little or no reason the server and the client cannot share configuration files. Alternatively, the app could be installed for multiple users on a network server. Even in that type of installation, is there some reason that the client should never access server configuration files? Regarding the search_path, when I connected with psql and certificates, I was only able to do so after I copied the certificates and keys into the Postgres folder located in the Roaming folder, located in the AppData folder, located in my Windows User name folder, located in the Windows system Users folder. I thought I read somewhere that particular folder derives from the search_path setting. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/SSL-Certificates-in-Windows-7-Postgres-9-3-tp5830749p5831232.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
