Thread: Cannot Connect to server with SSLmode set to required.
Hi Support Team,
We had PostgreSQL server PostgreSQL 14.12 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-22), 64-bit that runs with SSL Mode connection activated and we are enforcing ssl connection on it,
When we try to connect to the server using local installed PGAdmin4 v8.8, we encounter this error "Unable to connect to server:connection is bad: sslmode value "require" invalid when SSL support is not compiled in"

Mean while when we try to connect from the same PC/Laptop using other 3rd party client software like Navicat, it can connect flawlessly with no problem at all even with SSLmode set to require.
FYI, the PGAdmin4 is running on web mode on Windows 11, that we run using this command:


Could you please take a look and help us to troubleshoot?
Regards,
Surya

While testing with other clients, how did you confirm that the connection is secured? Does it show the SSL connection info?

Please look the picture below for more information on the SSL Connection Query:

The connection from Navicat is marked with blue line and checks...
