  • SRG-APP-000141-DB-000093

    Group
  • Access to external executables must be disabled or restricted.

    Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizatio...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000142-DB-000094

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of organization-defined functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

    In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000148-DB-000103

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).

    To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational user...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000171-DB-000074

    Group
  • 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-000172-DB-000075

    Group
  • If passwords are used for authentication, PostgreSQL must transmit only encrypted 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-000175-DB-000067

    Group
  • PostgreSQL, when using 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
  • SRG-APP-000176-DB-000068

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/used by PostgreSQL.

    The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. PKI certificate-based authentication is performed by requiring the certificate holder to cryptographically prove possession of ...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000177-DB-000069

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must map the PKI-authenticated identity to an associated user account.

    The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Once a PKI certificate has been validated, it must be mapped to a PostgreSQL user account for the authenticated identity to be ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000179-DB-000114

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must use NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations.

    Use of weak or not validated cryptographic algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption and digital signatures to protect data. Weak algorithms can be easily broken and not validated cryp...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000180-DB-000115

    Group
  • PostgreSQL must uniquely identify and authenticate nonorganizational users (or processes acting on behalf of nonorganizational users).

    Nonorganizational users include all information system users other than organizational users, which include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status ...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
