See here:

To use client certs you need to set cert for auth-method for a
particular connection. So to not use them and have an ssl connection set
the connection type to hostssl and set auth-method to something other
then cert.

If I  understand,  you want to a non-ssl connection to Postgres, correct?

If so then per the docs in the above link then use host for either local
or remote TCP/IP connections or local for a socket connection.
