PostgreSQL : SSL/TLS Setting2019/08/07

 
Enable SSL/TLS connection to PostgreSQL.
[1]
Get SSL certificates, refer to here.
This example is based on the case that SSL certificates are gotten under the [/etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world] and set the [Common Name] as [dlp.srv.world].
[2] Copy certificates created above and configure PostgreSQL.
root@dlp:~#
cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/* /etc/postgresql/11/main/

root@dlp:~#
chown postgres. /etc/postgresql/11/main/*.pem

root@dlp:~#
chmod 600 /etc/postgresql/11/main/*.pem

root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf
# line 98: change

ssl =
on
# line 100: change to your own certs

ssl_ca_file = '
/etc/postgresql/11/main/chain.pem
'
ssl_cert_file = '
/etc/postgresql/11/main/cert.pem
'
ssl_key_file = '
/etc/postgresql/11/main/privkey.pem

root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/postgresql/11/main/pg_hba.conf
# line 92: change like follows

# all users except localhost with peer are required SSL/TLS

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
