Hmm. Are you certain you had the password for the user stored
somewhere?

e.g...

1. Stored in the file $HOME/.pgpass?
2. Stored in some relevant environment variable ($PGPASS)?
3. Included into the DSN (e.g. - 'dbname=this password=something')

Having the cert doesn't automatically authenticate anything...
