Security Functions

• gs_encrypt_aes128(encryptstr,keystr)

  Description: Encrypts encryptstr strings using keystr as the key and returns encrypted strings. The length of keystr ranges from 1 to 16 bytes. Currently, the following types of data can be encrypted: numerals supported in the database; character type; RAW in binary type; and DATE, TIMESTAMP, and SMALLDATETIME in date/time type.

  Return type: text

  Length of the return value: At least 92 bytes and no more than (4*[*Len*/3]+68) bytes, where Len indicates the length of the data before encryption (unit: byte).

  Example:

  mogdb=# SELECT gs_encrypt_aes128('MPPDB','1234');
  
                                 gs_encrypt_aes128

  (1 row)

  NOTE: A decryption password is required during the execution of this function. For security purposes, the gsql tool does not record the function in the execution history. That is, the execution history of this function cannot be found in gsql by paging up and down.

• gs_decrypt_aes128(decryptstr,keystr)

  Description: Decrypts decrypt strings using keystr as the key and returns decrypted strings. The keystr used for decryption must be consistent with that used for encryption. keystr cannot be empty.

  NOTE: This parameter needs to be used with the gs_encrypt_aes128 encryption function.

  Return type: text

  Example:

  mogdb=# SELECT gs_decrypt_aes128('gwditQLQG8NhFw4OuoKhhQJoXojhFlYkjeG0aYdSCtLCnIUgkNwvYI04KbuhmcGZp8jWizBdR1vU9CspjuzI0lbz12A=','1234');
   gs_decrypt_aes128
  -------------------
   MPPDB
  (1 row)

  NOTE: A decryption password is required during the execution of this function. For security purposes, the gsql tool does not record the function in the execution history. That is, the execution history of this function cannot be found in gsql by paging up and down.

• gs_password_deadline

  Description: Indicates the number of remaining days before the password of the current user expires.

  Return type: interval

  Example:

  mogdb=# SELECT gs_password_deadline();
    gs_password_deadline
  -------------------------
   83 days 17:44:32.196094
  (1 row)

• gs_password_notifytime

  Description: Displays the number of remaining days notified before the password of the current user expires.

  Return type: int32

• login_audit_messages

  Description: Queries login information about a login user.

  Return type: tuple

  Example:

  • Checking the date, time, and IP address successfully authenticated during the last login.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(true);
    username  | database |       logintime        |     type      | result |  client_conninfo
    ------------+----------+------------------------+---------------+--------+--------------------
        omm    | mogdb | 2017-06-02 15:28:34+08 | login_success | ok     | gsql@[local]
    (1 row)

  • Checking the date, time, and IP address that failed to be authenticated during the last login.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(false) ORDER BY logintime desc limit 1;
    username  | database |       logintime        |     type     | result |     client_conninfo
    ------------+----------+------------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------
    (0 rows)

  • Checking the number of failed attempts, date, and time since the previous successful authentication.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(false);
    username  | database |       logintime        |     type     | result |     client_conninfo
    ------------+----------+------------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------
    (0 rows)

• login_audit_messages_pid

  Description: Queries login information about a login user. Different from login_audit_messages, this function queries login information based on backendid. Information about subsequent logins of the same user does not alter the query result of previous logins and cannot be found using this function.

  Return type: tuple

  Example:

  • Checking the date, time, and IP address successfully authenticated during the last login.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(true);
      username  | database |       logintime        |     type      | result |  client_conninfo | backendid
    ------------+----------+------------------------+---------------+--------+--------------------
         omm    | mogdb | 2017-06-02 15:28:34+08 | login_success | ok     | gsql@[local] | 140311900702464
    (1 row)

  • Checking the date, time, and IP address that failed to be authenticated during the last login.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(false) ORDER BY logintime desc limit 1;
      username  | database |       logintime        |     type     | result |     client_conninfo   | backendid
    ------------+----------+------------------------+--------------+--------+-------------------------
    (0 rows)

  • Checking the number of failed attempts, date, and time since the previous successful authentication.

    mogdb=# SELECT * FROM login_audit_messages(false);
      username  | database |       logintime        |     type     | result |     client_conninfo    | backendid
