Heroku - Disable Postgresql SSL?

Question

I have a PostGIS database on Heroku and I want to connect my external GeoServer to it. I can't do it because Geoserver does not support SSL and Heroku requires it.

Is there any way of disabling Heroku postgres SSL?

Thanks in advance

The simplified GeoServer UI does not allow to configure SSL connections, but you can setup a JNDI connection pool and provide all JDBC parameters you want that way:
