We recently upgraded our JDBC driver to 42.2.5 after seeing this https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1883/ All of our PG databases mandates SSL connections. So the first line in pg_hba.conf is hostnossl all all all reject We use dbeaver and while setting up connection we check box SSL (require). Attempt to connect without that checked would result in the following error "pg_hba.conf rejected the connection: SSL off" With the JDBC version listed in the subject, we are finding that we can connect to the database even without checking SSL. Is that expected with this version of JDBC. Does it automatically make the connection an SSL one? Otherwise it is hard to see PG allowing that connection to pass. thanks
