Description
Users can connect to a contained database without authenticating at the Database Engine level. Contained databases have some unique security threats mostly related with the USER WITH PASSWORD authentication process, which moves the authentication boundary from the Database Engine level to the database level.
How to fix?
Set settings.database_flags.name attribute to "contained database authentication", and settings.database_flags.value attribute to "off".
Example Configuration
resource "google_sql_database_instance" "allowed" {
name = "master-instance"
database_version = "SQLSERVER_2017_STANDARD"
region = "us-central1"
settings {
tier = "db-f1-micro"
database_flags {
name = "contained database authentication"
value = "off"
}
}
}
