One more thing
July 22, 2007
Probably it is the case that PostgreSQL 7.4 does not support SSL client authentication. In my previous post, I was unintentionally linking to the most recent 8.2 manual, and the relevant section is indeed missing from the 7.4 manual.
The older PostgreSQL version (in conjunction with the JDBC 3 driver) however does support SSL server authentication, as I just double-checked by temporarily removing the server certificate from the client’s Java keystore.
