CD16-00-009500 - PostgreSQL must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.
Information
Changes to the security configuration must be tracked.This requirement applies to situations where security data is retrieved or modified via data manipulation operations, as opposed to via specialized security functionality.
In an SQL environment, types of access include, but are not limited to:
SELECT
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE
EXECUTE
To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed attempts in addition to the successful ones.
Solution
Configure PostgreSQL to produce audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.All denials are logged if logging is enabled. To ensure logging is enabled, see the instructions in the supplementary content APPENDIX-C.
