If passwords are used for authentication, PostgreSQL must store only hashed, salted representations of passwords.
The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Authentication based on User ID and Password may be used only when it is not possible to employ a PKI certificate, and require...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000023-DB-000001
Group -
PostgreSQL must integrate with an organization-level authentication/access mechanism providing account management and automation for all users, groups, roles, and any other principals.
Enterprise environments make account management for applications and databases challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or o...Rule High Severity -

Group -
PostgreSQL must enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources in accordance with applicable access control policies.
Authentication with a DOD-approved PKI certificate does not necessarily imply authorization to access PostgreSQL. To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by entities th...Rule High Severity -

PostgreSQL must provide audit record generation capability for DOD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components.
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit rec...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000090-DB-000065
Group -
PostgreSQL must allow only the information system security manager (ISSM), or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM, to select which events are to be audited.
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent or interfere with the auditing of critical events. ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000091-DB-000066
Group -
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 retrieve privileges/permissions occur.
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 -
