+     * To encrypt transmission from the client to the server, the server
+       must have the ssl option set to true in postgresql.conf, and an
+       applicable host or hostssl record must exist in pg_hba.conf, and
+       the client sslmode must not be disable. (Note that it is also
+       possible to use a third-party encrypted transport, such as stunnel
+       or ssh, rather than PostgreSQL's native SSL connections.)
      * Database user passwords are automatically encrypted when stored in
        version 7.3. In previous versions, you must enable the option
        PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION in postgresql.conf.
