Wiki / Configuration Parameters

This parameter determines whether the passphrase command set by ssl_passphrase_command will also be called during a configuration reload if a key file needs a passphrase. If this parameter is off (the default), then ssl_passphrase_command will be ignored during a reload and the SSL configuration will not be reloaded if a passphrase is needed. That setting is appropriate for a command that requires a TTY for prompting, which might not be available when the server is running. Setting this parameter to on might be appropriate if the passphrase is obtained from a file, for example. This parameter must be set to on when running on Windows since all connections will perform a configuration reload due to the different process model of that platform. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line.

English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.4. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
