Re: Error in PostgreSQL log

Tom,
Thanks. Do I add the following to the postgresql.conf file?

ssl_renegotiation_limit = 0

Thanks,

It means your SSL library is maintained by someone with a clue ;-).
It's dealing with CVE-2009-3555 without simply breaking things.
However, you might want to update the SSL library at the other end,
or if you can't do that you might want to set ssl_renegotiation_limit =
0
to suppress the warning messages.
