At the command prompt, execute the following command: # grep '^\s*port\b' /storage/db/pgdata/postgresql.conf If the port is set to "5432", this is NOT a finding. If the port is not set to "5432" and if the ISSO does not have documentation of an approved variance for using a non-standard port, this is a finding.
