Make Postgres FIPS compliant

[doodlesbykumbi]

Set the postgres password encryption to scram-sha-256 to make Postgres FIPS compliant. Before merging we should figure out the upgrade path in terms of re-encrypting pre-existing passwords from md5.

I believe it is not required to set this explicitly since for postgres 15 we're using right now in appliance the default vaule is already set to scram-sha-256:

 psql -c "SHOW password_encryption;"
 password_encryption 
---------------------
 scram-sha-256
(1 row)

But this actually means that the upgrade procedure would be needed.

@tarnowsc I've not been able to find a Postgres 15 RHEL image

[tarnowsc]

For the given Dockerfile:

FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi

RUN dnf install -y --nodocs "https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-9-$(arch)/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm" && \
    dnf -y update && \
    dnf install -y --nodocs \
      postgresql15-server && \
    dnf clean all && \
    rm -rf /var/cache/yum /var/cache/dnf /var/lib/dnf

ENV PATH="/usr/pgsql-15/bin/:$PATH" \
    PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data

USER postgres

CMD ["/bin/bash", "-c", "initdb && pg_ctl start -w && psql -c 'SHOW password_encryption;'"]

I'm getting the following result:

docker run $(docker build -q .)
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "C".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "SQL_ASCII".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

@tarnowsc the changed config file is only relevant to the Helm deployment. The Dockerfile doesn't capture the config

[doodlesbykumbi]

@tarnowsc I think I misunderstood your last comment. If I understand correctly you are demonstrating building our own container image for Postgres 15 that should run in OpenShift. Can you confirm if you were able to get this image to run on OpenShift ?
