How to import certificates for monitoring Postgres Server with SSL authentication?
Before adding a PostgreSQL server that requires SSL authentication, you must import the server's SSL certificates into the Applications Manager trust store (cacerts) to establish a secure connection. Attempting to add without import might give connection attempt failed error.
Solution:
To import certificates, login as admin user and follow the steps given below:
- Navigate to Settings tab --> under Tools section --> choose Manage Certificates.
- Click on the "Trust Certificates" sub tab. Here you have 3 options to import certificates into trusted sources.
- Choose the Certificate option --> Under Choose truststore, Select cacerts and upload required Server Certificate files.
- For CA-Signed Certificates: You only need to import the Server certificate only.
- For Self-Signed Certificates: You must import both the Server certificate and the Root certificate.
- Applications Manager supports .cer, .crt, and .der certificate file formats.
