Both tests worked.

 

I ended up having to create a client certificate to get pgadmin 4 to work. It would be great if I didn’t have to go that route as our dev environment doesn’t require the added security of managing client certificates. It’d be great if pgadmin 4 supported SSL with verify-ca without needing client certificates, and just the root certificate.

Hello,

I have no problem connecting without SSL to my postgresql server utilizing an ssh tunnel, but if I try to enable SSL for the postgresql db connection with verify-ca it doesn't work. I'm supplying the root certificate, but we don't use client certificates for authentication, only username/password. I'm able to get this same setup working in sqlworkbench, but for some reason, I'm not able to use SSL for the DB connection using verify-ca supplying only the root.crt. Do I need to be using client certificate authentication for SSL to work for the db connection.

 

    Can you please try following things:

• Is that works without creating SSH Tunnel?
• Try to connect using psql? If that works can you please create SSH Tunnel manually from command prompt and then try to connect DB using psql.
