PostgreSQL 16 : PostgreSQL over SSL/TLS2024/05/30 |
|
SSL/TLS connection to PostgreSQL. |
|
| [1] | SSL/TLS is enabled by default, so it does not need to change settings if you don't have specific requirements to the system. So SSL/TLS connection is enabled automatically if you connect to PostgreSQL via TCP. |
