Use the following command line arguments when executing ACT:
  • --enable-ssl
  • --ssl-self-signed-peer

Or use a configuration file similar to the following:

# ACT configuration file example
# Contains settings for connecting securely to a specific host and database

host: 10.10.10.10
dbname: sampledb
username: sampleuser

# SSL settings
enable-ssl: true
ssl-self-signed-peer: true

The client does not need to keep a copy of the server's certificate.

Do not use the other SSL settings such as --ssl-trusted-ca-file, or --ssl-trusted-ca-path.
