Strapi v4 PostgreSQL connection from local project to azure db - postgresql

Question

Trying to connect to an Azure PostgreSQL server from my local Strapi project (eventually deployed in a docker container).
I have the connection configured according to the strapi docs, including using the cert downloaded from the azure portal:
https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/setup-deployment-guides/configurations/required/databases.html#configuration-structure
my database.js file:
// PostgreSQL
////////////////////////////////////////
const fs = require("#strapi/strapi/lib/services/fs");
const parse = require("pg-connection-string").parse;
const db = parse("azure-conn-string");
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
connection: {
client: "postgres",
connection: {
host: db.host,
port: db.port,
database: db.database,
user: db.user,
password: db.password,
ssl: {
ca: fs.readFileSync(`${__dirname}/db.crt.pem`).toString(),
},
},
},
});
when starting the server i get this in the terminal:
error: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "ip-address", user "username", database "db_name", SSL off

It seems like its trying to connect with ssl off, I'm not sure why since it should be configured to be enabled. If I remove the ssl rule from the azure database, the connection will go through so it seems like the problem is something with the ssl config.
Can anyone help?

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
defaultConnection: "default",
connection: {
client: "postgres",
connection: {
host: env("DATABASE_HOST", "localhost"),
port: env.int("DATABASE_PORT", 5432),
database: env("DATABASE_NAME", "postgres"),
user: env("DATABASE_USER", "postgres"),
password: env("DATABASE_PASSWORD", "0000"),
schema: env("DATABASE_SCHEMA", "public"),
},
}
});
