Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I don't know what private certificate authorisation is. I
assume this is different to SSL and is not the same as a self signed cert. I
have created my certificate with OpenSSL so I assume I am not in the arena
of private certificate authorisation.

Thanks for the tip re Debian, but sadly client and server are all Windows
machines.

I think I will put a plea out there to anyone who uses FireDAC and has
managed to get SSL working with Postgre. Absent anything useful there, I
will give up on Postgre.

All the best.

Mark

I suspect Wim was referring to private certificate authentication rather
than connections over SSL - use the same basic technologies, but for
different goals.

While it may or may not be useful, I believe that recent versions of Debian
actually come with SSL connections enabled by default (using self signed
cert). Might provide the example you need?
