Connecting with SSL/TLS
To connect with SSL/TLS, select the Use SSL/TLS toggle.
The standard options are CA Certificate, Client Key, Client Certifcate, and Verification mode.
See screenshot below:
CA Certificate is a certificate signed by a trusted, third-party certificate authority (CA). The client, which is Dataland in this case, uses the certificate to verify that they are talking to the correct server. Client Key and Client Certificate are additional fields that identify the client to the server.
Verification modes
The following table lists the available Verification mode options:
| Mode | psql equivalent | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Verify CA Certificate | verify-ca | Verifies the server by checking the certificate chain up to the root certificate stored on the client. |
| Skip CA Certificate verification | require | Establishes an encrypted connection without CA certificate verification. |
| Full verification | verify-full | Verifies the server host matches the name stored in the server certificate and checks the CA certificate. |
