I have digested this thread, and have done two things: improved the documentation and posted a patch to make the error message clearer. In terms of your suggestion about root.crt, I think sslverify != none should error if it can't verify the server's certificate, whether the root.crt file is there or not. If you are asking for sslverify, it should do that or error, not ignore the setting if there is no root.crt file. The only other approach would be to add an sslverify value of 'try' that tries only if root.crt exists. A separate issue is if sslverify should default to 'cn'. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
