TMA-POSTGRES-5.6
Ensure Password Complexity is configured
Descripción
Password complexity configuration is crucial to restrict unauthorized access to data. By default, PostgreSQL doesn't provide for password complexity. Moreover, many compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, and HIPPA require both password complexity and length.
Cómo se verifica
Método de auditoría: Revisión manual
Esta recomendación no se puede verificar automáticamente. Un escaneo la lista con estas instrucciones cuando se pasa --include-manual.
Run SHOW shared_preload_libraries; and SHOW dynamic_library_path; If $libdir/passwordcheck (or passwordcheck when dynamic_library_path is $libdir) is not listed in shared_preload_libraries, this is a failure.
Cómo se corrige
Método de corrección: Guía o parche de infraestructura
Add '$libdir/passwordcheck' to shared_preload_libraries in postgresql.conf (keep existing entries), optionally set passwordcheck.min_password_length, and restart PostgreSQL.
