### Django & Postgres & SSL
Forcing Django to connect using SSL to the database server:
```python
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'dbname',
        'USER': 'dbuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'dbpassword',
        'HOST': 'dbhost',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'sslmode': 'require',
        },
    },
}
```
