Hello,

Any idea on the followings :

1. What are the contents found in the PostgreSQL
2. Can we use PostgreSQL EDB can be supported ? Since the default PostgreSQL within NPS installer is on community version.
3. is the PostgreSQL DB encrypted (Single Server Deployment)?
4. If the NPS set up is using multiple component set up - PostgreSQL DB is isolated, is it still encrypted?

Thank you!

Hello Chua,

To answer your questions:

1. Can you please provide more detail? All of NPS’ data is stored in the PostgreSQL database.
2. We don’t test or support PostgreSQL EDB, however it should work fine with NPS.
3. No, the database is not encrypted as a whole, however credentials are encrypted (salted and hashed).
4. Not applicable, since the database as a whole is not encrypted. Again, credentials are still encrypted (salted and hashed).

- Dan
