NAME

6       ipsec_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The ipsec processes execute with the  ipsec_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep ipsec_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The ipsec_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipsec_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/spi,                     /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/pluto,
28       /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/eroute,             /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/klipsdebug,
29       /usr/local/lib(64)?/ipsec/spi,         /usr/local/lib(64)?/ipsec/pluto,
30       /usr/local/lib(64)?/ipsec/eroute, /usr/local/lib(64)?/ipsec/klipsdebug,
31       /usr/libexec/strongswan/.*,                     /usr/libexec/ipsec/spi,
32       /usr/libexec/ipsec/pluto,                    /usr/libexec/ipsec/eroute,
33       /usr/libexec/ipsec/klipsdebug
34

PROCESS TYPES

36       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
37       system
38
39       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
40
41       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
42       ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec  pro‐
43       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
44
45       The following process types are defined for ipsec:
46
47       ipsec_t, ipsec_mgmt_t
48
49       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a ipsec_t can be used to make the process
50       type ipsec_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
51       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
52       ated.
53
54

BOOLEANS

56       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   ipsec
57       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
58       manipulate the policy and run ipsec with the tightest access possible.

PORT TYPES

156       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
157
158       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
159       command:
160
161       semanage port -l
162
163
164       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
165       SELinux  ipsec  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
166       ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
167
168       The following port types are defined for ipsec:
169
170
171       ipsecnat_port_t
172
173
174
175       Default Defined Ports:
176                 tcp 4500
177                 udp 4500
178

MANAGED FILES

180       The SELinux process type ipsec_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
181       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
182       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

280       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
281       type.
282
283       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
284
285       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
286       SELinux ipsec policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
287       ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
288
289       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
290
291       SELinux  defines the file context types for the ipsec, if you wanted to
292       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
293       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
294       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
295
296       semanage fcontext -a -t ipsec_var_run_t '/srv/myipsec_content(/.*)?'
297       restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_content
298
299       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
300       match multiple files.
301
302       The following file types are defined for ipsec:
303
304
305
306       ipsec_conf_file_t
307
308       -  Set  files with the ipsec_conf_file_t type, if you want to treat the
309       files as ipsec conf content.
310
311
312       Paths:
313            /etc/racoon(/.*)?,     /etc/strongswan(/.*)?,     /etc/ipsec.conf,
314            /etc/strongswan/ipsec.conf
315
316
317       ipsec_exec_t
318
319       -  Set  files  with the ipsec_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
320       executable to the ipsec_t domain.

354
355
356       ipsec_log_t
357
358       - Set files with the ipsec_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as

363       ipsec_mgmt_exec_t
364
365       - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
366       an executable to the ipsec_mgmt_t domain.

383            /var/lock/subsys/ipsec, /var/lock/subsys/strongswan
384
385
386       ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t

409
410
411       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
412       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
413       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
414       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
415
416

COMMANDS

418       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
419       mappings.
420
421       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
422       process type is permissive.
423
424       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
425       icy modules.
426
427       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
428
429       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
430
431
432       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
433       icy settings.
