I get the following error if I use an 8.0.0beta4 client to connect
to an 8.0.0beta4 server that has a root.crt, but the client certificate
doesn't exist in ~/.postgresql:
psql: SSL error: sslv3 alert handshake failure
The server logs the following:
LOG: could not accept SSL connection: 1
If the certificate exists but I use a 7.4.6 client, then the client
fails with the following:
psql: unrecognized SSL error code
The server logs this:
LOG: could not accept SSL connection: 5
