pgAdmin on Mac connecting to Postgres 9 on Linux - SSL/timeout issue

From

Date:
I have a Postgres 9 server running on a server out on the Internet and
I connect to it with pgAdmin on OS/X over an SSL connection.

I notice if I keep the connection open and idle for maybe an hour or
so, when I try to run a query it either times out or pgAdmin just
kinda freezes up and I have to force quit..  Is there some sort of
idle timeout setting on SSL connections, or maybe it has to
re-negotiate the connection after a certain amount of idle time and
it's not doing that right?

Anyone run into this before?  Thanks!

Mike

I don't know about pgAdmin or SSL, but I have heard that routers and switches
can have a timeout limit: "the idle time after which an established
connection of any protocol closes".

Maybe that's it..  It's definitely some sort of SSL thing since it
didn't start happening until I enabled SSL.  I guess I'll just have to
close pgAdmin when I'm not using it..

Sorry this is an extremely old thread, but I finally got around to
tracking down the problem..  Added these lines to postgres.conf and
poof, problem gone..

tcp_keepalives_idle = 60                # TCP_KEEPIDLE, in seconds;
tcp_keepalives_interval = 10            # TCP_KEEPINTVL, in seconds;
tcp_keepalives_count = 5                # TCP_KEEPCNT;

Hope this helps someone else!
