Thread: PostgreSQL 7.3.4 SSL support

PostgreSQL 7.3.4 SSL support

From

Was the Cygwin binary version of PostgreSQL compiled with SSL support?
Or does that require an actual compile from source?  Just curious.  Have
never tried using SSL to connect, but I could see it's usefulness at
some point in the future, so thought I'd go straight to the source.

I know OpenSSL is also offered as a Cygwin package, and I've compiled
various items using it under Cygwin.  But was just curious whether
PostgreSQL was already compiled against it.  I suspect not, since the
OpenSSL package isn't listed in the README.

Doesn't look like it. From the /usr/doc/postgresql-7.3.4/README:

    configure --enable-multibyte --with-python --with-perl --with-java
--with-CXX --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version

If you need it, download the sources and add "--with-openssl[=DIR]" to the
configure line.

Cheers,
Claudio

Claudio is correct.  However, see the following:

    http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2003-08/msg01060.php

I will configure Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.4 --with-openssl (when released).
