PostgreSQL
TMA-POSTGRES-5.6
Ensure Password Complexity is configured
Descrição
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.
Como é verificado
Método de auditoria: Revisão manual
Run SHOW shared_preload_libraries; and SHOW dynamic_library_path; If $libdir/passwordcheck (or passwordcheck when dynamic_library_path is $libdir) is not listed in shared_preload_libraries, this is a failure.
Como é corrigido
Método de correção: Orientação ou patch de infraestrutura
Add '$libdir/passwordcheck' to shared_preload_libraries in postgresql.conf (keep existing entries), optionally set passwordcheck.min_password_length, and restart PostgreSQL.
