All of them understand a common set of environment variables: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html Many of those can also be supplied as part of the connection string. These include SSL mode control. The question I would ask is whether psql connects by default using ssl in the same basic configuration. If so, then the inconsistency amounts to pg_basebackup having an insecure default connection method while psql has a secure one. David J.
