Hello,
Thank you for the reply and for the advice about our PostgreSQL version. We
will plan to update it.
To clarify what I meant by "standby (client)": In a streaming replication
setup, the standby server connects to the primary server to receive data.
In this specific network connection, the standby acts as the client, and
the primary acts as the server. My question is about restrict thr lists of
supported TLS ciphers on the standby (the client side of the connection).
Regarding my original question, does the latest version of PostgreSQL
provide a way to configure the client-side TLS cipher list for the
replication connection? If not, are there any discussions or plans to add
this feature in the future?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Yunfei Zhou
