Check Text (C-22008r1018569_chk)

Review DBMS configuration to verify DBMS user accounts are being mapped directly to authenticated identity information being passed via the PKI.

If user accounts are not being mapped to authenticated identity information being passed via the PKI, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-22000r1018570_fix)

Configure the DBMS to map the authenticated identity directly to the DBMS user account.
