I ended up having to create a client certificate to get pgadmin 4 to work. It would be great if I didn’t have to go that route as our dev environment doesn’t require the added security of managing client certificates. It’d be great if pgadmin 4 supported SSL with verify-ca without needing client certificates, and just the root certificate.
I have no problem connecting without SSL to my postgresql server utilizing an ssh tunnel, but if I try to enable SSL for the postgresql db connection with verify-ca it doesn't work. I'm supplying the root certificate, but we don't use client certificates for authentication, only username/password. I'm able to get this same setup working in sqlworkbench, but for some reason, I'm not able to use SSL for the DB connection using verify-ca supplying only the root.crt. Do I need to be using client certificate authentication for SSL to work for the db connection.
Can you please try following things:
Is that works without creating SSH Tunnel?
Try to connect using psql? If that works can you please create SSH Tunnel manually from command prompt and then try to connect DB using psql.
