dirsrv_selinux(8) dirsrv SELinux Policy documentation dirsrv_selinux(8)NAMEdirsrv_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dirsrv pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dirsrv processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the
dirsrv_t, you must turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
dirsrv_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the dirsrv_t, you must
turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
SELinux dirsrv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
dirsrv processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for dirsrv:
dirsrv_config_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_config_t type, if you want to treat the
files as dirsrv configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
directory.
dirsrv_exec_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the dirsrv_t domain.
dirsrv_share_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_share_t type, if you want to treat the
files as dirsrv share data.
dirsrv_snmp_exec_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_snmp_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the dirsrv_snmp_t domain.
dirsrv_snmp_var_log_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_snmp_var_log_t type, if you want to treat
the data as dirsrv snmp var log data, usually stored under the /var/log
directory.
dirsrv_snmp_var_run_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_snmp_var_run_t type, if you want to store
the dirsrv snmp files under the /run directory.
dirsrv_tmp_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_tmp_t type, if you want to store dirsrv
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
dirsrv_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store dirsrv
files on a tmpfs file system.
dirsrv_var_lib_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
dirsrv files under the /var/lib directory.
dirsrv_var_lock_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_var_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
files as dirsrv var lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
dirsrv_var_log_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
data as dirsrv var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
tory.
dirsrv_var_run_t
- Set files with the dirsrv_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
dirsrv files under the /run directory.
dirsrvadmin_config_t
- Set files with the dirsrvadmin_config_t type, if you want to treat
the files as dirsrvadmin configuration data, usually stored under the
/etc directory.
Paths:
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv(/.*)?, /etc/dirsrv/dsgw(/.*)?
dirsrvadmin_exec_t
- Set files with the dirsrvadmin_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the dirsrvadmin_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/sbin/start-ds-admin, /usr/sbin/stop-ds-admin,
/usr/sbin/restart-ds-admin
dirsrvadmin_lock_t
- Set files with the dirsrvadmin_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
files as dirsrvadmin lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
dirsrvadmin_tmp_t
- Set files with the dirsrvadmin_tmp_t type, if you want to store
dirsrvadmin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
dirsrvadmin_unconfined_script_exec_t
- Set files with the dirsrvadmin_unconfined_script_exec_t type, if you
want to transition an executable to the dirsrvadmin_unconfined_script_t
domain.
Paths:
/usr/lib/dirsrv/cgi-bin/ds_remove, /usr/lib/dirsrv/cgi-bin/ds_cre‐
ate
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
dirsrv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dirsrv
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for dirsrv:
dirsrvadmin_unconfined_script_t, dirsrv_snmp_t, dirsrvadmin_t, dirsrv_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
icy modules.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
