I am guessing you did from here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-connection.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CONNECTION-SSL

"ssl (boolean)

Enables SSL connections. This parameter can only be set in the
postgresql.conf file or on the server command line. The default is off.
"

set ssl on.

Check postgresql.conf to verify. If you don't want SSL on then set to off.

If you want it on and need a certificate see:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/ssl-tcp.html#SSL-CERTIFICATE-CREATION
