<p>I'm testing a database insert statement similar to the following which works locally but not after deployment to a kubernetes cluster connected to a managed database host:</p>
<pre><code>func Insert(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    db := dbConn()
    //If it's a post request, assign a variable to the value returned in each field of the New page.
    if r.Method == &quot;POST&quot; {
        email := r.FormValue(&quot;email&quot;)
        socialNetwork := r.FormValue(&quot;social_network&quot;)
        socialHandle := r.FormValue(&quot;social_handle&quot;)
        createdOn := time.Now().UTC()

        //prepare a query to insert the data into the database
        insForm, err := db.Prepare(`INSERT INTO public.users(email, social_network, social_handle) VALUES ($1,$2, $3)`)
        //check for  and handle any errors
        CheckError(err)
        //execute the query using the form data
        _, err = insForm.Exec(email, socialNetwork, socialHandle)
        CheckError(err)
        //print out added data in terminal
        log.Println(&quot;INSERT: email: &quot; + email + &quot; | social network: &quot; + socialNetwork + &quot; | social handle : &quot; + socialHandle + &quot; | created on: &quot; + createdOn.String() + &quot; | createdOn is type: &quot; + reflect.TypeOf(createdOn).String())
        sendThanks(socialHandle, email)
    }
    defer db.Close()

    //redirect to the index page
    http.Redirect(w, r, &quot;/thanks&quot;, 301)
}

<p>The value of 'DBSSLMODE' is currently set to &quot;disabled&quot; in the secrets file.</p>
<p>When testing the insert statement by inputting data through the front end, the following panic is returned:</p>
<p><code>022/08/15 18:50:58 http: panic serving 10.244.0.38:47590: pq: no pg_hba.conf entry for host &quot;167.172.231.113&quot;, user &quot;novvsworld&quot;, database &quot;novvsworld&quot;, no encryption </code></p>
<p>Am I missing an additional configuration for the encryption and shouldn't setting the sslmode to disabled bypass this?</p>

<blockquote>

<p>Yes, and that is the problem.  The client refuses to use SSL.  While the server (configuration not shown, but can be inferred from the error) refuses to proceed <em>without</em> SSL.</p>
<p>As long as both sides make incompatible demands and refuse to compromise, nothing can get done.</p>
