SSL connection to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database from a C++ application using Visual Studio

Your organization may require you to connect to databases using secure SSL connections so all traffic communicating with the database is encrypted. In this post, we provide guidance on how to connect to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database from a C++ application using the libpq library. We show you how to enforce SSL connections to your Aurora PostgreSQL database and connect to this from a C++ application using a secured SSL connection. You can also apply the same principles to an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database.
