Provider Reference

Description

PostgreSQL servers must enforce SSL connections to ensure client‑server traffic is encrypted and prevent credential exposure in transit. For Ansible playbooks using the azure.azcollection.azure_rm_postgresqlserver or azure_rm_postgresqlserver modules, the enforce_ssl parameter must be set to true (Ansible yes/true). Tasks that omit enforce_ssl (it defaults to false) or set it to false are flagged as insecure.

Secure configuration example:

- name: Create PostgreSQL server with SSL enforced
  azure.azcollection.azure_rm_postgresqlserver:
    name: mypgserver
    resource_group: my-rg
    location: eastus
    enforce_ssl: yes
