Hi, Jeanna.

Maybe an stack-trace of your error, when trying the ssl connection
could be useful. Also, as noted in

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/80/ssl-client.html

perhaps other jdbc client configuration is missing or not available on
your environment.

Just guessing... maybe you could try importing your server's
certificate into client keystore or disabling SSL certificate
validation (probably you're using a self-signed certificate)
