PostgreSQL Flexible Server SCRAM Enabled

Ensure PostgreSQL flexible servers are using SCRAM authentication protocol for password encryption.

Using SCRAM (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism) enhances authentication security in PostgreSQL by defending against common password-based vulnerabilities, bolstering protection against credential interception and replay attacks.

Modify PostgreSQL flexible server to use SCRAM for password encryption instead of MD5.
