Postgres on Heroku is SSL-enabled with self-signed certificates, so for the connection to work in DbVisualizer, I had to define two special driver properties for the PostgreSQL JDBC driver:

  1. ssl was set to true
  2. sslfactory was set to org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory

Observe the screenshot below to identify the configuration of the properties:
