Fix Recommendation

Install PostgreSQL with FIPS-compliant cryptography enabled on an OS found in the CMVP (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/validated-modules) or by other means, ensure that FIPS 140-2-certified OpenSSL libraries are used by the DBMS.

Check Contents

If the deployment incorporates a custom build of the operating system and PostgreSQL guaranteeing the use of FIPS 140-2- compliant OpenSSL, this is not a finding.

If PostgreSQL is not installed on an OS found in the CMVP (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/validated-modules), this is a finding.

If FIPS encryption is not enabled, this is a finding.
