Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, automatically setting up a PostgreSQL database with engine-setup generated weak passwords for the PostgreSQL users. Since the PostgreSQL database is accessible remotely with a default Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager installation, this was a security issue. Now a patch has been added that creates stronger random passwords and the length has been extended to 22 characters.
