From aafbd1df969135c185947c596c46608fc9f4a67c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Misch Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 07:24:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Restore PGREQUIRESSL recognition in libpq. Commit 65c3bf19fd3e1f6a591618e92eb4c54d0b217564 moved handling of the, already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval(). The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection even when set. Its documentation remained. Restore its implementation. Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for those not following the link to requiressl. Back-patch to 9.3, where commit 65c3bf1 first appeared. Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated and non-deprecated settings. Before commit 65c3bf1, libpq operated according to the first of these found: requiressl=1 PGREQUIRESSL=1 sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* (Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1. PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect whatsoever.) Starting with commit 65c3bf1, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL, and order of precedence changed to this: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* PGREQUIRESSL=1 This retains the 65c3bf1 behavior for connection strings that contain both requiressl=* and sslmode=*. It retains the 65c3bf1 change that either connection string option overrides both environment variables. For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full" configurations originating under v9.3 and later.
