I created server.crt
, server.key
and root.crt
files on Centos 7 and put the same onto the C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\postgresql
folder in windows as i am running the postgresql server on windows. Now on running my applications using SSL, i am getting the error as
"The host name could not be verified"
Any help please.
I am using JetBrains Data Grip to access Postgres dbs on Heroku, and got the same error in the latest JDBC driver version. That's how I solved it (using answers provided here).
Set the following in the Advanced tab:
ssl=true
sslmode=required
sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory
(I updated sslmode
value from verify-ca
to required
because it works with Heroku Postgres now)
If you don't care about hostname verification while still wanting to use a certificate, you can use the additional parameter sslmode=verify-ca
as a connection parameter or as part of the URL to disable hostname verification while retaining certificate verification.
To use the PostgreSQL JDBC driver without server certificate validation, use
sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory
as connection parameter or as part of the URL as described in the documentation.
With later versions of the JDBC driver, you have to specify
sslmode=require
because the default value verify-full
means that the client wants to check the certificate and identity of the server.
