updpwd_selinux(8)     updpwd SELinux Policy documentation    updpwd_selinux(8)

NAME
       updpwd_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the updpwd pro‐
       cesses

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced Linux	secures	 the  updpwd  processes	 via  flexible
       mandatory access control.

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
       If  you	want  to  allow	 users	to  login  using  a sssd serve for the
       updpwd_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
       updpwd_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 updpwd_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 updpwd policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup	 their
       updpwd processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for updpwd:

       updpwd_exec_t

       -  Set  files with the updpwd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
       executable to the updpwd_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /sbin/unix_update, /usr/sbin/unix_update

       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
       updpwd  policy  is  very	 flexible allowing users to setup their updpwd
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for updpwd:

       updpwd_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.
