Hi,

PFA patch to allow user to provide custom path for SSL certificates and also allow user to pass .pgpass file when making server connection.

RM#2649

RM#2650

SSL certificates options reference:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-connect.html

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/ssl-tcp.html

.pgpass file reference:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-pgpass.html

Nice! A few comments:

- Should we enable the certificate options for "Prefer" mode? What did we do in pgAdmin 3?

​In pgAdmin3, all SSL options are enabled for each mode.​

Yes, we should also consider 'prefer' mode.

- We need a doc update :-). Please include updates to all the screenshots on the relevant page, to ensure they all show the right tabs.

​Sure​, will sent it in next patch.

- I think the file browser needs an option to view hidden files/folders. Typically a pgpass file is at ~/.pgpass on *nix systems, and certificates are likely to be stored in ~/.ssh. 

​Let me check the file manager code, I will update on this.​

 

Thanks!
