Re: Setting up SSL for postgre

Hi Wim,

I did intend Cert aut (at least I think I did!).

Still cannot connect to postgre database from my client app using FireDAC. I can connect fine from PGAdmin3 on the same machine using the same certificates.

The call made by FireDAC to libPQ.Dll is the following:

PQconnectdb [ConnInfo=hostaddr=192.168.0.12 port=5432 dbname=rees user=postgres password=*** connect_timeout=10 sslmode=require sslrootcert=C:\ProgramData\MWC\Viewer\Certs\root.crt sslcert=C:\ProgramData\MWC\Viewer\Certs\postgresql.crt sslkey=C:\ProgramData\MWC\Viewer\Certs\postgresql.key password=1234, Result=$0000000003B262B0]

13222564840001 17:41:04.681      . ERROR: connection requires a valid client certificate [Status=1]

The SSLmode is set to require when I connect with PGAdmin. So presumably, there is no problem with the certificates. Is there anything that jumps out from the FireDAC output as to why the SSL connection doesn’t work?

Many thanks,

Mark

Hallo Mark,

as i quickly read the error message in your question,

these we're my first suggestions.

either

* did you intent cert aut for the postgres user?

* u use a selfsigned certificate, hence software that checks for the validity will fail or ask for this

** using for example the free, but official letsencrypt certificates this should be solved

hth,

Wim
