Can't connect to a PostgreSQL Database using a Traefik reverse proxy

[dust259 0]

Hi, for a few weeks I'm trying to add Traefik as a reverse proxy into our server setup. I'm using the Devart UniDAC Components to connect to the database. On connect I get the following error:

Quote

SSL_do_handshake = -1

SSL_get_error(..., r2) = 5

r2 = -1

Some more infos:

- SSL is active (TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 are allowed)

- I added the latest version of the libssl-1_1.dll and libcrypto-1_1.dll

- I tried the ZeosLib, but got the same error (SSL_do_handshake = -1)

- Connecting to the Database or pooler via IP works fine

- Database Tools like PSQL, pgAdmin and dbBeaver can connect to the DB via reverse proxy without problems

- I also build a simple C# application using the NpgsqlConnection which can connect to the DB via the proxy without problems 

- I added the Devart SecureBridge Components to get rid of the dependency on the openssl dlls. But this only resulted in another error (moste likely originating in the TPGConnection):

Connection is closed

 

- I was able to use the FireDAC components (using the 64bit libpq.dll) to connect to the server. But my application is compiled on 32bit, there doesn't seem to be a current Version of the dll compiled for 32bit (the newest 32 bit one is v10 (depreciated), but can not connect to my server).

- On the server I don't get any logs when the connection is closed. While debugging I sometimes got this error:

ERROR: ObjectCache.run ProtocolError("Connection broken: InvalidChunkLength(got length b'', 0 bytes read)", InvalidChunkLength(got length b'', 0 bytes read))

 

I'm in contact with the Devart Support for two weeks now, but they seem puzzled too. I have a few questions:
1. Has anyone faced similar problems when trying to connect to a reverse proxy in combination with TLSv1.2&TLSv1.3?

2. Is it really true that the FireDAC components effectively can not connect to a Postgres Server on 32 bit because there is no current libpg.dll?

3. Can you recommend me an alternative to the Devart components which does not rely on the libpg.dll?

I can confirm that FireDAC and the 32-bit version 10 libpq.dll works fine with the supported 64-bit versions of PostgreSQL (12-16) including those running on Linux, FreeBSD and Azure.

 

I can't help you with the TLS and reverse proxy stuff 😉
