Hi, I am completely new to cloud server and to PostgreSQL. I would like to setup a SSL Connection with PostgreSQL managed database on Digital Ocean. I downloaded the CA certificate. However, when I try to use the CA certificate to connect to the instance externally using Pgadmin, it also asks for a CA key. I am not aware as to where to find this key. Please support or kindly explain, if I have understood something wrongly in this.

Hi there @gauravmjoshi,
I’ve just tested this, what you need is the following, under the SSL section specify:
-
Set the
SSL modetoRequired -
You need to download your CA certificate and add it under the
Root Certificatesection -
You can also set the
SSL compressiontoYes
I can confirm that I was able to connect with the details above.
The version of Pgadmin that I used was v4.20.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
