Set up DBConnect connection to PostgreSQL DB using SSL certificate

Observer

Currently we connect to PostgreSQL database using username/password authentication. Now we need to switch to certificate based authentication.

I've created certificate in the server. Can anyone please guide me how to configure this in DBConnect  Web GUI?
