For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Couchbase instance, you must onboard your Couchbase
instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Couchbase using
administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Couchbase
instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM
suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
To onboard your Couchbase instance, you complete the following actions:
