Q20 PostgreSQL Domain 2 · 25–30% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which setting should be enabled to require encrypted client connections?

  1. A require_secure_transport (SSL enforcement) set to ON (correct answer)
  2. B log_connections
  3. C ssl_ciphers only
  4. D pgcrypto extension

Shortcut: Enforcing SSL/TLS rejects unencrypted connections at the server. The client must then supply sslmode=require or stricter.
