just enforce hostssl in your pg_hba.conf and nothing else. If you can connect, you are good :)

I can connect from the httpd host to the postgresql host using psql and it shows that an ssl connection with a 256 bit key is in use. However, I would like to verify that the web app is also using ssl and I cannot seem to find any logging setting or other mechanism that will explicitly state that the connection made by this application is using ssl. Is there some confidence check that I can invoke via a log setting or something else to have the postgresql server state with certainty that the connection between the app host and the db host is via ssl? I subscribe to the digest version so the favour of a direct reply in addition to any sent to this list is requested Regards,
