PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.
Changes to the security configuration must be tracked. This requirement applies to situations where security data is retrieved or modified via data manipulation operations, as opposed to via speci...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to delete categorized information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.
Changes in categorized information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed ...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must be able to generate audit records when privileges/permissions are retrieved.
Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, it must be possible to configure auditing to do this. PostgreSQLs typical...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to modify categorized information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.
Changes in categorized information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed ...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records for all privileged activities or other system-level access.
Without tracking privileged activity, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. System documentation...Rule Medium Severity -

PostgreSQL must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are deleted.
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of privileges could go undetected. Elevat...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to delete security objects occur.
The removal of security objects from the database/PostgreSQL would seriously degrade a system's information assurance posture. If such an action is attempted, it must be logged. To aid in diagnosi...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to execute privileged activities or other system-level access occur.
Without tracking privileged activity, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. System documentation ...Rule Medium Severity -
PostgreSQL, when utilizing PKI-based authentication, must validate certificates by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.
The DoD standard for authentication is DoD-approved PKI certificates. A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA)....Rule Medium Severity
