Determines whether or with what priority a secure SSL TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server.
See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-ssl.html for more information on the modes.

The database extension state.
|
trust_input
boolean
added in 0.2.0 of community.postgresql

If
no , check whether values of parameters ext, schema, version, session_role are potentially dangerous.It makes sense to use
no only when SQL injections via the parameters are possible. |
version
string
|
Extension version to add or update to. Has effect with state=present only.
If not specified, the latest extension version will be created.
It can't downgrade an extension version. When version downgrade is needed, remove the extension and create new one with appropriate version.
Set version=latest to update the extension to the latest available version.

Notes¶
Note
Supports
check_mode
.The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the
postgres
account on the host.This module uses psycopg2, a Python PostgreSQL database adapter.
You must ensure that
psycopg2
is installed on the host before using this module.If the remote host is the PostgreSQL server (which is the default case), then PostgreSQL must also be installed on the remote host.
For Ubuntu-based systems, install the
postgresql
,libpq-dev
, andpython-psycopg2
packages on the remote host before using this module.Incomparable versions, for example PostGIS
unpackaged
, cannot be installed.The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the
postgres
account on the host.To avoid “Peer authentication failed for user postgres” error, use postgres user as a become_user.
This module uses psycopg2, a Python PostgreSQL database adapter. You must ensure that psycopg2 is installed on the host before using this module.
If the remote host is the PostgreSQL server (which is the default case), then PostgreSQL must also be installed on the remote host.

The ca_cert parameter requires at least Postgres version 8.4 and psycopg2 version 2.4.3.
