My app cannot connect to the managed database instance I just created because of the following error:

This is how I configured my connection:
connection: {
connectionString: DATABASE_URL,
ssl: {
ca: fs.readFileSync(CA_CERT).toString(),
},
},
I don’t want to set rejectUnauthorized: false, I want to use the certificate you provide.

Hi @akoskm,
I might be wrong but I think since it’s a self-signed certificate can’t be trusted as it’s not verified. (untrusted = not verified by a certificate authority)
I would not recommend setting this environment variable rejectUnauthorized: false in production as your application would not be trusted by users.
I think you can use free Let’s Encrypt certificates for this purpose as well.
Here is a similar question here:
Did you solve the issue, in that case, how? I’m currently trying myself and having some issues.
