PostgreSQL documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/libpq-ssl.html says that when a client certificate is requested by a server, a windows client psql will use by default the credentials located at %APPDATA%\postgresql\postgresql.crt and %APPDATA%\postgresql\postgresql.key
However, my psql client application (v 9.5.0) in a Windows Server 2012 R2 cannot find the certificates in this location and only works when this location is specifically set using the sslcert and sslkey attributes when connecting. Is this a bug or am I using a wrong path? This an example of execution: ------------------------------------------- C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data> ..\bin\psql "postgresql://postgres@localhost/postgres" psql: FATAL: connection requires a valid client certificate FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "postgres", database"postgres", SSL off C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data> ..\bin\psql "postgresql://postgres@localhost/postgres?sslkey=postgresql\postgresql.key&sslcert=postgresql\postgresql.crt" psql (9.5.0) SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.2, cipher: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384,bits: 256, compression: off) Type "help" for help. postgres=# -------------------------------- cheers
