Java r2dbc forces for SSL

Tried to connect Java application to DB. Nonreactive jdbc works perfectly. Reactive stuff is forced for SSL.
Looks like the configuration of the Database is incorrect.

The application uses two different connections to work. Flyway got applied, quartz works, reactive driver failed.

Any thoughts?

Can you provide an error message, example code, and/or stack trace?

spring:
flyway:
locations: classpath:db/migration
url: jdbc:postgresql://${SMB_PL_DB_HOST}:${SMB_PL_DB_PORT}/${SMB_PL_DB_DATABASE}
user: ${SMB_PL_DB_USER_NAME}
password: ${SMB_PL_DB_PASSWORD}
enabled: true
jooq:
sql-dialect: postgres
r2dbc:
name: ${SMB_PL_DB_DATABASE}

username: ${SMB_PL_DB_USER_NAME}
password: ${SMB_PL_DB_PASSWORD}

flyway works (non reactive). r2dbc jooq does not. I tried to specify the downloaded db_cert implicitly. No success.

Tried this certificate from docu:

[xxx]# openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha256 -inform pem -in db_server.crt
sha256 Fingerprint=58:94:FF:67:32:C6:88:2B:78:82:0A:D7:5F:B5:55:3B:E5:DA:12:B8:2C:CA:78:8E:D0:77:E2:FA:26:2A:80:D5

Ok it was resolved. The application worked incorrectly with the DB name (slash inside is awful) and SSL cert path.

It is mandatory to have ssl: true, sslMode: require and sslKey: (pem format)

Yep, makes sense. For reference,
