rhev_selinux(8) rhev SELinux Policy documentation rhev_selinux(8)NAMErhev_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rhev processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rhev processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the
rhev_agentd_t, rhev_agentd_consolehelper_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
rhev_agentd_t, rhev_agentd_consolehelper_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 rhev_agentd_t,
rhev_agentd_consolehelper_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 rhev policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rhev
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for rhev:
rhev_agentd_exec_t
- Set files with the rhev_agentd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the rhev_agentd_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/share/rhev-agent/rhev-agentd.py, /usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent
rhev_agentd_log_t
- Set files with the rhev_agentd_log_t type, if you want to treat the
data as rhev agentd log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
tory.
rhev_agentd_tmp_t
- Set files with the rhev_agentd_tmp_t type, if you want to store rhev
agentd temporary files in the /tmp directories.
rhev_agentd_unit_file_t
- Set files with the rhev_agentd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
the files as rhev agentd unit content.
rhev_agentd_var_run_t
- Set files with the rhev_agentd_var_run_t type, if you want to store
the rhev agentd files under the /run directory.
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
rhev policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rhev pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for rhev:
rhev_agentd_t, rhev_agentd_consolehelper_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.
