EPAS-00-012500 - The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must generate audit records when unsuccessful accesses to objects occur.
Information
Without tracking all or selected types of access to all or selected objects (tables, views, procedures, functions, etc.), it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.In an SQL environment, types of access include, but are not necessarily 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
Execute the following SQL as the 'enterprisedb' operating system user:> psql edb -c 'ALTER SYSTEM SET edb_audit_statement = '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.
