The problem is that I believe that this configuration could be better but I cannot put part
of CA chain in root.crt as it was advised.
For Java it all depends on current SSL Factory implementation, I was using the default one.
If I wrote my own implementation I would probably be able to have common with libpq,
requiring the least info, configuration (but actually I would prefer to avoid it).
