The docs say that you can only change this in postgresql.conf or on the
command line. Changes to postgresql.conf requires pg_ctl reload or
something similar.
I am not aware of anyone else who thinks changing postgresql.conf and
then reloading causes the session to use new ssl keys/files, and
explaining that in the docs might be more confusing than helpful.
