The CVS logs show quite a bit of work done on SSL support between 7.4
and 8.0, for instance:
2004-11-19 19:18 tgl
* src/: backend/libpq/be-secure.c, interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c:
Improve error reporting for SSL connection failures. Remove
redundant free operations in client_cert_cb --- openssl will also
attempt to free these structures, resulting in core dumps.
2004-09-26 18:51 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/libpq.sgml, doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml,
src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c, src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c:
Fix multiple breakages in our support for SSL certificates.
My suspicion is that you need to be using 8.0 if you want any degree of
robustness in using SSL for certificate checking (as opposed to being
just an encrypted communications channel).
