The FOLIO project does not use PostgreSQL 9.x any longer. It has already upgraded to PostgreSQL 10.
I cannot find any usage of PostgreSQL 9.x, therefore I close this issues as "cannot reproduce".
The bug reports about SSL/TLS and SCRAM-SHA-256 are not caused by PostgreSQL 9.x. They already got dedicated issues: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/FOLIO-2411#icft=FOLIO-2411, https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/FOLIO-2412#icft=FOLIO-2412, https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/OKAPI-787#icft=OKAPI-787

As I'm a SysOp and not a Dev, I look at Folio as a black box system and just try stuff with it. Since Okapi (2.36.0) was not able to work with SSL and SCRAM-SHA-256, the latter of which was introduced with PG 10, it has to either work on a prior version or was stripped to the bones by devs (which would be asking for cattle prod sessions all the way).
So yes, I'm technically able to try to force all modules to talk to my Debian 10 PostgreSQL server via SSL using SCRAM-SHA-256 passwords, but I'm only able to provide hints (i. e. works or not). For me things just have to work in a bullet proof way, that is safe to use and secure in depth.

@Johannes Drexl Can you give a more detailed report where FOLIO still uses PostgreSQL 9.x? Please post URLs to the affected documentation/script/installation.
RAML Module Builder (RMB) has switched from 9.6 to 10 in April 2018:

This is a branch of https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/FOLIO-2406
Migration to PG10+ will be mandatory in September 2021, because that's when support for 9.x will be dropped after 5 years of maintenance. Pushing that to the back of the queue will be stressful for the community afterwards, when the deadline draws near, especially with more and more modules being build on legacy functions and more libraries using folio in their production environment.
