PostgreSQL and NeXpose Rapid 7 Vulnerbility scanning software

Is anyone using NeXpose Rapid 7 to scan your PostgreSQL databases for vulnerbilities?  If so, what authentication are you using to allow it to connect to your database?  Or, how are you configuring the software to allow it to connect to the database?
 
Thanks,

Hi Sandra,

Although Nexpose scans for PostgreSQL databases and can discover weak
credentials, etc, it does not currently allow endusers to specify
credentials. This feature will likely soon be available.
