Hello PostgreSQL community,

I have a question regarding the configuration of streaming replication.

When setting up streaming replication over TLS, I've noticed that while the primary server can restrict its supported encryption algorithms using the ssl_ciphers parameter, there doesn't seem to be a corresponding method for the standby (client) side of the replication connection. The standby appears to use all the default ciphers supported by the system's OpenSSL library.

What is a "standby (client)"?

Postgresql version: 15.2

That's missing 12 sets (three years) of bug fixes.  When using RPM or .deb packages, updating takes only a few minutes.
