Haproxy SSL termination for postgres












0














I've got a postgresql + patroni cluster managed by HAProxy with configuration looking something like this



listen postgres
mode tcp
bind *:5432
option httpchk
http-check expect status 200
server node1 172.28.1.1:5432 maxconn 100 check port 8008
server node2 172.28.1.2:5432 maxconn 100 check port 8008


This works fine and I am able to connect to the master postgres instance using the haproxy frontend address.



I've then generated a self-signed ssl certificate using openssl and set on the binding like this:



bind *:5432 ssl crt /etc/ssl/private/server.pem


however I am not able to connect to the postgres server (HAProxy frontend) via PgAdmin. I have added the certificate and key to the server settings in PgAdmin but I get the Server closed the connection unexpectedly error. Am I doing something wrong or does this mean that I cannot have SSL termination for postgres?

    This is not possible I think, you need to configure postgresql server to accept SSL connections, more here - postgresql.org/docs/9.5/ssl-tcp.html
