SSL

Hi,

The SSL section contains this:

If the server demands a client certificate, libpq will send the
certificate stored in file .postgresql/postgresql.crt within the
user's home directory. A matching private key
file .postgresql/postgresql.key must also be present, and must not be
world-readable.

If the file .postgresql/root.crt is present in the user's home
directory, libpq will use the certificate list stored therein to
verify the server's certificate. The SSL connection will fail if the
server does not present a certificate; therefore, to use this feature
the server must also have a root.crt file.

I presume this extract suggests that one is running a unix or linux
flavour.  What are the equivalent location in Windows XP?

You seem to be reading prerelease documentation.
