Re: SSL Certificates in Windows 7 & Postgres 9.3

To anyone following this thread, I would also like to point out the
following, from Man 31.18.1.

In verify-full mode, the cn (Common Name) attribute of the certificate is
matched against the host name. If the cn attribute starts with an asterisk
(*), it will be treated as a wildcard, and will match all characters except
a dot (.). This means the certificate will not match subdomains. If the
connection is made using an IP address instead of a host name, the IP
address will be matched (without doing any DNS lookups).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So it seems that when creating self-signed certificates for use in
verify-full mode, the CN is not the user id, but instead, the host name, ie.
127.0.0.1, which is what I had.
