Well, psql is trying to connect with SSL off even though postgres was
built with SSL support, the server has SSL turned on, and psql
connects with SSL by default for Kerberos connections. Where I was
getting confused was that, for some reason, md5 authentication wasn't
using SSL (or at least that's what the error suggested) and the only
thing I changed was what user/auth-method I was using.

After exporting that environment variable, it works. Thanks.
