Hi,  
I seem to be hitting a brick wall with this rails \<== ssl ==\> psotgresql  
issue! My postgres dB is already setup to accept ssl over tcp (running  
windows xp here) and is doing so nicely with my Jboss/Cocoon application  
via:

jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test?ssl=true

Now, what config file(s) do I need to amend so that rails prompts  
postgresql  
for secure connections?

–  
Regards

Andrew

Hi,  
any ideas in this area would be very appreciated. I’ve noticed that the  
mysql\_adapter.rb file has ssl attributes setup for the very task I wish  
to  
achieve. Do I take it that ssl connectivity is unachievable between  
rails  
and postgresql?
