Fix Recommendation

Open "<postgresql data directory>/pg_hba.conf" in an editor. (The default path for the postgresql data directory is /var/lib/ppas/9.5/data, but this will vary according to local circumstances.)

For any rows that have TYPE of "hostssl", append "clientcert=1" in the OPTIONS column at the end of the line.

Check Contents

Open "<postgresql data directory>/pg_hba.conf" in a viewer or editor. (The default path for the postgresql data directory is /var/lib/ppas/9.5/data, but this will vary according to local circumstances.)
