For more details on TLS connections (e.g. action required and certificate verification) see Changelog 6507 .

To improve security. the database will reject all incoming connection requests that are not using TLS encryption.
Clients that are trying to connect without TLS encryption will receive the following exception message:
Connection exception - Only TLS connections are allowed.
