Creating Certificates: ``` To create a simple self-signed certificate for the server, valid for 365 days, use the following OpenSSL command, replacing dbhost.yourdomain.com with the server's host name: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -text -out server.crt \ -keyout server.key -subj "/CN=dbhost.yourdomain.com" ``` However, on Ubuntu, running "openssl req --help" shows the following: ``` Output options: ... -noenc Don't encrypt private keys -nodes Don't encrypt private keys; deprecated ``` Therefore, I suggest you replace the "-nodes" switch in the command example to "-noenc". Ubuntu version: ``` $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION_ID="22.04" VERSION="22.04.5 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)" VERSION_CODENAME=jammy ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"; SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"; BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"; PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"; UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy ``` ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

Thanks for your report! The noenc option, and subsequent deprecation notice on nodes, came in OpenSSL 3.0 but PostgreSQL still support OpenSSL 1.1.1. nodes is still available in the recent 3.5 version so sticking with it is the safe option for us (until we deprecate 1.1.1 support, which is a fair bit into the future). -- Daniel Gustafsson ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
