| Description |
|---|
| For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track failed attempts to log on to the DBMS. While positive identification may not be possible in a case of failed authentication, as much information as possible about the incident must be captured. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Execute the following SQL as the "enterprisedb" operating system user: > psql edb -c "SHOW edb_audit_connect" If the result is not "all" or if the current setting for this requirement has not been noted and approved by the organization in the system documentation, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Execute the following SQL as the "enterprisedb" operating system user: > psql edb -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_connect = 'all'" > psql edb -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_disconnect = 'all'" > psql edb -c "SELECT pg_reload_conf()" or Update the system documentation to note the organizationally approved setting and corresponding justification of the setting for this requirement. |
