I am having a problem getting the Windows client to work with my Solaris 
database using SSL connections.

In the postgresql\8.3\bin directory there are the libpq.dll 
andssleay32.dll libraries. I am fairly certain by the tests I have 
conducted that the client is trying to use SSL but the error in the 
server log is "could not accept SSL connection: cipher or hash unavailable"

What do I need to do on the server to get the client to use a valid cipher?

My psql client on the Solaris box using localhost as my connection works 
with:
Cipher: EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA, bits: 168

And my Java clients connect successfully as well.
