puppet_selinux(8) puppet SELinux Policy documentation puppet_selinux(8)NAMEpuppet_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the puppet pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the puppet processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. puppet
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run puppet with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow Puppet client to manage all file types, you must
turn on the puppet_manage_all_files boolean.
setsebool -P puppet_manage_all_files 1
If you want to allow Puppet master to use connect to MySQL and Post‐
greSQL databas, you must turn on the puppetmaster_use_db boolean.
setsebool -P puppetmaster_use_db 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the puppet‐
master_t, puppet_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
puppetmaster_t, puppet_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 puppetmaster_t, pup‐
pet_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 puppet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
puppet processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for puppet:
puppet_etc_t
- Set files with the puppet_etc_t type, if you want to store puppet
files in the /etc directories.
puppet_exec_t
- Set files with the puppet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the puppet_t domain.
puppet_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the puppet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the puppet_initrc_t domain.
puppet_log_t
- Set files with the puppet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as puppet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
puppet_tmp_t
- Set files with the puppet_tmp_t type, if you want to store puppet
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
puppet_var_lib_t
- Set files with the puppet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
puppet files under the /var/lib directory.
puppet_var_run_t
- Set files with the puppet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
puppet files under the /run directory.
puppetca_exec_t
- Set files with the puppetca_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the puppetca_t domain.
puppetmaster_exec_t
- Set files with the puppetmaster_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the puppetmaster_t domain.
puppetmaster_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the puppetmaster_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the puppetmaster_initrc_t domain.
puppetmaster_tmp_t
- Set files with the puppetmaster_tmp_t type, if you want to store pup‐
petmaster temporary files in the /tmp directories.
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.
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 puppet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
puppet processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for puppet:
puppet_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 8140
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
puppet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their puppet
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for puppet:
puppet_t, puppetmaster_t, puppetca_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.
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.
