Are there any ramifications of setting a password for the postgres user in CloudForms

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We need to set a password for the postgres DB user. It is not set by default. We need to know all of the possible ramifications for CloudForms of doing so.

postgres=# select * from pg_shadow;
 usename  | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | userepl |               passwd                | valuntil | useconfig
----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+---------+-------------------------------------+----------+-----------
 postgres |       10 | t           | t        | t         | t       |                                     |                                               |
 root     |    16384 | t           | t        | t         | f       |                                     |                                               |
