Hello there,
I have recently signed up for Timescale Cloud trial service to test out my node application, and I’ve encountered self-signed certificate issue.
The application is refusing to connect to the timescale cloud instance and showing an error: “self signed certificate in certificate chain”. I was able to verify that everything else is working by just bypassing the ssl verification.
Is this really the case that timescale cloud is using self-signed cert for the domain name? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Hello @f8122dac91
I’ve found this documentation section in case it helps but I’m not 100% sure that it’s useful to you in the context of Timescale Cloud. https://docs.timescale.com/timescaledb/latest/how-to-guides/multinode-timescaledb/multinode-auth/#certificate-authentication
