Fix Recommendation

Execute the following SQL as enterprisedb:

SELECT rolname, rolconnlimit FROM pg_roles;

For any roles where rolconnlimit is -1 or larger than the system documentation limits, execute this SQL as enterprisedb:

ALTER USER <role> WITH CONNECTION LIMIT <desired connection limit>;

Check Contents

Determine whether the system documentation specifies limits on the number of concurrent DBMS sessions per account by type of user. If it does not, assume a limit of 10 for database administrators and 2 for all other users.

Execute the following SQL as enterprisedb:

SELECT rolname, rolconnlimit FROM pg_roles;

If rolconnlimit is -1 or larger than the system documentation limits for any rolname, this is a finding.
