zoneminder_selinux(8zoneminder SELinux Policy documentatizoneminder_selinux(8)NAMEzoneminder_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the zoneminder
processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the zoneminder processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the zone‐
minder_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
zoneminder_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 zoneminder_t, you
must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
Allow zoneminder servers to read the /var/zoneminder directory by
adding the public_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring
the file type.
semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/zoneminder(/.*)?"
restorecon -F -R -v /var/zoneminder
Allow zoneminder servers to read and write /var/tmp/incoming by adding
the public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
type. This also requires the allow_zoneminderd_anon_write boolean to
be set.
semanage fcontext -a-t public_content_rw_t "/var/zoneminder/incom‐
ing(/.*)?"
restorecon -F -R -v /var/zoneminder/incoming
If you want to allow ZoneMinder to modify public files used for public
file transfer services., you must turn on the zoneminder_anon_write
boolean.
setsebool -P zoneminder_anon_write 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 zoneminder policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their zoneminder processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for zoneminder:
zoneminder_exec_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the zoneminder_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/bin/zmpkg.pl, /usr/bin/motion
zoneminder_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the zoneminder_initrc_t domain.
Paths:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/motion, /etc/rc.d/init.d/zoneminder
zoneminder_log_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_log_t type, if you want to treat the
data as zoneminder log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
tory.
Paths:
/var/log/zoneminder(/.*)?, /var/log/motion.log
zoneminder_spool_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_spool_t type, if you want to store the
zoneminder files under the /var/spool directory.
zoneminder_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
zoneminder files on a tmpfs file system.
zoneminder_var_lib_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_var_lib_t type, if you want to store
the zoneminder files under the /var/lib directory.
zoneminder_var_run_t
- Set files with the zoneminder_var_run_t type, if you want to store
the zoneminder 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
zoneminder policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their zone‐
minder processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for zoneminder:
zoneminder_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.
