[pgpool-general: 2802] PgPool SSL problems: library refuses to load, even though enabled

[Rick Morris]

Hi All,

I can't get PgPool to support SSL connections, even though I follow the
documented steps perfectly.

Scenario: 2 PostgreSQL servers with streaming replication (primary ->
standby), PgPool in load-balancing mode. Everything works fine with non-SSL
connections.

1. In the case of requiring SSL connections from the Postgres servers,
connection attempts just fail with "pool_do_auth: maybe protocol version
mismatch (current version 3)" while on the server side I see

"FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "192.168.10.10", user "postgres",
database "template1", SSL off"
(connection set to hostssl in pg_hba.conf).


2. In the case of enabling local SSL connections to PgPool, I configure
pgpool.conf with

ssl = true
ssl_key = '/etc/pgpool-II/server.key'
ssl_cert = '/etc/pgpool-II/server.crt'
(with self-signed cert, same as in the Postgres servers)

And when I connect locally to PgPool, the log shows

"pool_ssl: SSL requested but SSL support is not available"

And when I turn on debugging (set to 1 or 2 in pgpool.conf) I do not see
SSL mentioned in the reported config keys during startup.

PgPool master process
/usr/bin/pgpool -f /etc/pgpool-II/pgpool.conf -n

I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can look for to figure out why SSL
is not loading?

Thanks
