Research direction

Start by locating the code that reads or writes the Tableau workbook connection tag and check how PostgreSQL connection options are represented. Compare workbooks with and without the setting; done means supporting sslmode='require' when enabled and omitting sslmode when disabled, with the applicable connection types clarified.

Description

connectorRequest enhancement

In Tableau Desktop this appears as below:

In the a twb file this seems to add sslmode='require' to the connection tag when checked. When not checked, sslmode does not appear as part of the connection tag.

I am assuming this applies to different connection types, but I am only familiar with PostgreSQL.
