 # Configure SSL connectivity in Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Hyperscale (Citus)
-Client applications to Hyperscale (Citus) coordinator node require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Enforcing SSL connections between your database server and your client applications helps protect against "man-in-the-middle" attacks by encrypting the data stream between the server and your application.

 In some cases, applications require a local certificate file generated from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file (.cer) to connect securely. The certificate to connect to an Azure Database for PostgreSQL server is located at https://www.digicert.com/CACerts/BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem. Download the certificate file and save it to your preferred location. 
 
 ### Connect using psql
-The following example shows how to connect to your PostgreSQL server using the psql command-line utility. Use the `sslmode=verify-full` connection string setting to enforce SSL certificate verification. Pass the local certificate file path to the `sslrootcert` parameter.
