pki_ra_selinux(8) SELinux Policy pki_ra pki_ra_selinux(8)NAMEpki_ra_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pki_ra pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pki_ra processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
The pki_ra processes execute with the pki_ra_t SELinux type. You can
check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep pki_ra_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The pki_ra_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_exec_t,
pki_ra_exec_t file types.
The default entrypoint paths for the pki_ra_t domain are the following:
/usr/sbin/httpd(.worker)?, /usr/sbin/apache(2)?, /usr/lib/apache-
ssl/.+, /usr/sbin/apache-ssl(2)?, /usr/share/jetty/bin/jetty.sh,
/usr/sbin/nginx, /usr/sbin/php-fpm, /usr/sbin/cherokee,
/usr/sbin/lighttpd, /usr/sbin/httpd.event, /usr/bin/mongrel_rails,
/var/lib/pki-ra/pki-ra
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
pki_ra policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pki_ra
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for pki_ra:
pki_ra_t
Note: semanage permissive -a pki_ra_t can be used to make the process
type pki_ra_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
ated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pki_ra
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run pki_ra with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1

daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
ldap rather then using a sssd server for the pki_ra_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
pki_ra_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.
setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
PORT TYPES
SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
command:
semanage port -l
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
SELinux pki_ra policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
pki_ra processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for pki_ra:
pki_ra_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 12888-12889
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type pki_ra_t can manage files labeled with the
following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

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 pki_ra policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
pki_ra processes in as secure a method as possible.
EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
pki_ra policy stores data with multiple different file context types
under the /var/lib/pki-ra directory. If you would like to store the
data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
/srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/pki-ra /srv/pki-ra
restorecon -R -v /srv/pki-ra
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the pki_ra, if you wanted to
store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t pki_ra_etc_rw_t '/srv/pki_ra/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mypki_ra_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for pki_ra:
pki_ra_etc_rw_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
files as pki ra etc read/write content.
Paths:
/etc/pki-ra(/.*)?, /etc/sysconfig/pki/ra(/.*)?
pki_ra_exec_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the pki_ra_t domain.
pki_ra_lock_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
as pki ra lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
pki_ra_log_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as pki ra log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
pki_ra_script_exec_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_script_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the pki_ra_script_t domain.
pki_ra_tmp_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_tmp_t type, if you want to store pki ra
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
pki_ra_tomcat_exec_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_tomcat_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the pki_ra_tomcat_t domain.
pki_ra_var_lib_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
pki ra files under the /var/lib directory.
pki_ra_var_run_t
- Set files with the pki_ra_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
pki ra files under the /run or /var/run directory.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanently 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.
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.
semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
