How do I set up SSL certificates for PostgreSQL?

To set up SSL certificates for PostgreSQL, you'll need to generate a server certificate and key, and configure PostgreSQL to use them.

What commands do I need to generate the certificates?

You can use OpenSSL to generate the certificates. The command is: openssl req -new -text -out server.csr followed by openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt.

How do I configure PostgreSQL to use these certificates?

Edit the postgresql.conf file to set ssl = on, and specify the paths to your server.crt and server.key files.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Make sure to set the correct permissions on the key file and restart the PostgreSQL service for the changes to take effect.
