Fix Recommendation

At the command prompt, execute the following commands:

# sed -i.bak "/ssl_ciphers\s.*/ d" /storage/db/vcops/vpostgres/data/postgresql.conf
# sed -i "$ a ssl_ciphers = 'FIPS: +3DES:\!aNULL'" /storage/db/vcops/vpostgres/data/postgresql.conf
# su postgres
postgres@vRealizeClusterNode:> cd /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current
postgres@vRealizeClusterNode:> /opt/vmware/vpostgres/9.3/bin/pg_ctl restart -D /storage/db/vcops/vpostgres/data
postgres@vRealizeClusterNode:> exit

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep '^\s*ssl_ciphers\b' /storage/db/vcops/vpostgres/data/postgresql.conf

If ssl_ciphers is not set to "FIPS: +3DES:!aNULL", this is a finding.
