Question

Where can I find Client Certificate so as to be able to connect to Managed Postgre Instance using Pgadmin

Posted on April 4, 2020
DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL Database
Asked by gauravmjoshi

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 mode to Required
You need to download your CA certificate and add it under the Root Certificate section
You can also set the SSL compression to Yes

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
