[Pgpool-general] About SSL conections with pgpool!!!

[Lazaro Rubén García Martinez]

Hello everyone in the list. I have a doubt about the configuration for using SSL with Pgpool-II.

In the documentation says that:

ssl_key

    The path to the private key file to use for incoming frontend connections.

    There is no default value for this option, and if left unset SSL will be disabled for incoming frontend connections.

ssl_cert

    The path to the public x509 certificate file to use for incoming frontend connections.

    There is no default value for this option, and if left unset SSL will be disabled for incoming frontend connections.

This path is the data directory of postgresql server, where there is a server.key and a server.cert ?

Or is necesary generate a ssl_key and a ssl_cert for pgpool-II.

Another question, what is the maximun number for the parameter max_pool?? 

The number for backend_weight, is a number form 0  to 1, or it parameter can admit a number greater than 1??

Thank you very much for your time.
Regards.
