| Description |
|---|
| In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to the DBMS that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a database management utility program. The intent is to capture all activity from administrative and nonstandard sources. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Execute the following SQL as the "enterprisedb" operating system user: > psql edb -c "SHOW edb_audit_statement" > psql edb -c "SHOW edb_audit_connect" > psql edb -c "SHOW edb_audit_disconnect" If the result is not "all" for any or if the current settings for this requirement have not been noted and approved by the organization in the system documentation, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Execute the following SQL as enterprisedb: ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_statement = 'all'; ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_connect = 'all'; ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_disconnect = 'all'; SELECT pg_reload_conf(); or Update the system documentation to note the organizationally approved setting and corresponding justification of the setting for this requirement. |
