The client library is the PG 10 one that comes with Ubuntu 18.04
in case it matters.

I think I have just verified that I can't make it work by putting
the end entity cert there either. It is back working again with only
the WE ISSUE TO EVERYBODY cert there, but if there is a workable way
to narrow that grant of trust a teensy little bit, I would be happy
to do that.
