连接到Heroku Postgres数据库时出现CertificateUnknown错误

Question

So I am in the middle of migrating from SQL Server to PostgreSQL, and I am building a temporary solution for the migration period to allow my ASP.NET app to connect to my Heroku Postgres database and make use of Entity Framework etc.

So far I have managed to connect to the database from pgAdmin III for windows with no problems, but when connecting from ASP.NET app, I get this error:

CertificateUnknown: Server certificate was not accepted. Chain status: A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. . The specified hostname was not present in the certificate.

I am still fairly new to heroku, but it does not make sense why I can connect from pgAdmin with the same settings as my ASP.NET app but it doesn't work in the app itself.

Full stack trace:

With Npgsql 3.1.5 try to use "Trust Server Certificate=true" in connection string. Example connection string:

Server=[servername];Port=[port];User Id=[username];Password=[password];Database=[databasename];sslmode=Require;Trust Server Certificate=true
