Maybe. The impression I have is that it's very common for installations to use a locally-run CA to generate server and client certs. I would not expect them to put such certs into /etc/ssl/certs.
Well, I would do it that way if it worked. Not directly /etc/ssl/certs, but /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
I would like the locally-run CA to able to sign not just postgresql server certs, but also apache server certs. And then install the CA cert file in one place per client and have it work for psql, curl, wget, etc.
