Tests for negotiating network encryption method
===============================================
This directory contains a test suite for the libpq options to
negotiate encryption with the server. This requires reconfiguring a
test server, enabling/disabling SSL and GSSAPI, and is therefore kept
separate and not run by default.
CAUTION: The test server run by this test is configured to listen for TCP
connections on localhost. Any user on the same host is able to log in to the
test server while the tests are running. Do not run this suite on a multi-user
system where you don't trust all local users! Also, this test suite creates a
KDC server that listens for TCP/IP connections on localhost without any real
access control.
Running the tests
=================
NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
Run
make check PG_TEST_EXTRA=libpq_encryption
You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested. With
"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
sources and then tested.
See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
