Here’s what I have been trying: > url: "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/aioli?require_auth=password&application_name=aioli-controller&sslmode=disable&sslrootcert=", Hm, that looks right (and behaves as-expected here). What version of what client-side stack are you using? For me, libpq 16 and up recognize this parameter, while older versions fail with psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "require_auth" If you're using some other client driver, maybe it doesn't know this parameter and guesses that it should be passed to the server. regards, tom lane
