prelude_selinux(8) SELinux Policy prelude prelude_selinux(8)NAMEprelude_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the prelude pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the prelude processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
The prelude processes execute with the prelude_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 prelude_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The prelude_t SELinux type can be entered via the prelude_exec_t file
type.
The default entrypoint paths for the prelude_t domain are the follow‐
ing:
/usr/bin/prelude-manager
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
prelude policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their prelude
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for prelude:
prelude_lml_t, prelude_t, prelude_audisp_t, prelude_correlator_t
Note: semanage permissive -a prelude_t can be used to make the process
type prelude_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. prelude
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run prelude with the tightest access possi‐
ble.
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
If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the
daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.

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

must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
default.

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nis_enabled 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 prelude_lml_t, prelude_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
prelude_lml_t, prelude_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled bool‐
ean.
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 prelude policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
prelude processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for prelude:
prelude_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 4690
udp 4690
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type prelude_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.

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

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 prelude policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
prelude processes in as secure a method as possible.
EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
prelude policy stores data with multiple different file context types
under the /var/spool/prelude 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/spool/prelude /srv/prelude
restorecon -R -v /srv/prelude
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the prelude, 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 prelude_audisp_exec_t '/srv/prelude/con‐
tent(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myprelude_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for prelude:
prelude_audisp_exec_t
- Set files with the prelude_audisp_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the prelude_audisp_t domain.
Paths:
/sbin/audisp-prelude, /usr/sbin/audisp-prelude
prelude_audisp_var_run_t
- Set files with the prelude_audisp_var_run_t type, if you want to
store the prelude audisp files under the /run or /var/run directory.
prelude_correlator_config_t
- Set files with the prelude_correlator_config_t type, if you want to
treat the files as prelude correlator configuration data, usually
stored under the /etc directory.
prelude_correlator_exec_t
- Set files with the prelude_correlator_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the prelude_correlator_t domain.
prelude_exec_t
- Set files with the prelude_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the prelude_t domain.
prelude_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the prelude_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the prelude_initrc_t domain.
Paths:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/prelude-lml, /etc/rc.d/init.d/prelude-manager,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/prelude-correlator
prelude_lml_exec_t
- Set files with the prelude_lml_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the prelude_lml_t domain.
prelude_lml_tmp_t
- Set files with the prelude_lml_tmp_t type, if you want to store pre‐
lude lml temporary files in the /tmp directories.
prelude_lml_var_run_t
- Set files with the prelude_lml_var_run_t type, if you want to store
the prelude lml files under the /run or /var/run directory.
prelude_log_t
- Set files with the prelude_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as prelude log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
prelude_spool_t
- Set files with the prelude_spool_t type, if you want to store the
prelude files under the /var/spool directory.
Paths:
/var/spool/prelude(/.*)?, /var/spool/prelude-manager(/.*)?
prelude_var_lib_t
- Set files with the prelude_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
prelude files under the /var/lib directory.
prelude_var_run_t
- Set files with the prelude_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
prelude 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.
