NAME

6       mongod_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the mongod pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  mongod  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mongod  processes  execute with the mongod_t SELinux type. You can
14       check if you have these processes running by executing the  ps  command
15       with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep mongod_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  mongod_t  SELinux  type  can be entered via the mongod_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mongod_t domain are the following:
28
29       /usr/bin/mongod,   /usr/bin/mongos,    /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
30       /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
31

PROCESS TYPES

33       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34       system
35
36       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
39       mongod  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup their mongod
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for mongod:
43
44       mongod_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a mongod_t can be used to make  the  process
47       type  mongod_t  permissive.  SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  mongod
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate the policy and run mongod with the tightest access possible.

PORT TYPES

170       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
171
172       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
173       command:
174
175       semanage port -l
176
177
178       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
179       SELinux  mongod  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
180       mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
181
182       The following port types are defined for mongod:
183
184
185       mongod_port_t
186
187
188
189       Default Defined Ports:
190                 tcp 27017-27019,28017-28019
191

MANAGED FILES

193       The SELinux process type mongod_t can manage  files  labeled  with  the
194       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
195       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

251       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
252       type.
253
254       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
255
256       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
257       SELinux mongod policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
258       mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
259
260       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
261
262       SELinux defines the file context types for the mongod, if you wanted to
263       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
264       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
265       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
266
267       semanage fcontext -a -t mongod_var_run_t '/srv/mymongod_content(/.*)?'
268       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymongod_content
269
270       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
271       match multiple files.
272
273       The following file types are defined for mongod:
274
275
276
277       mongod_exec_t
278
279       -  Set  files with the mongod_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
280       executable to the mongod_t domain.
281
282
283       Paths:
284            /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/bin/mongos, /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
285            /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
286
287
288       mongod_initrc_exec_t
289
290       -  Set files with the mongod_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
291       tion an executable to the mongod_initrc_t domain.
292
293
294       Paths:
295            /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongos
296
297
298       mongod_log_t
299
300       - Set files with the mongod_log_t type, if you want to treat  the  data
301       as mongod log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
302
303
304       Paths:
305            /var/log/mongo.*, /var/log/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic.log.*
306
307
308       mongod_tmp_t
309
310       -  Set  files  with  the mongod_tmp_t type, if you want to store mongod
311       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
312
313
314
315       mongod_unit_file_t
316
317       - Set files with the mongod_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat  the
318       files as mongod unit content.
319
320
321       Paths:
322            /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongos.*
323
324
325       mongod_var_lib_t
326
327       -  Set  files  with the mongod_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
328       mongod files under the /var/lib directory.
329
330
331
332       mongod_var_run_t
333
334       - Set files with the mongod_var_run_t type, if you want  to  store  the
335       mongod files under the /run or /var/run directory.
336
337
338       Paths:
339            /var/run/mongo.*, /var/run/aeolus/dbomatic.pid
340
341
342       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
343       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
344       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
345       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
346
347

COMMANDS

349       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
350       mappings.
351
352       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
353       process type is permissive.
354
355       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
356       icy modules.
357
358       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
359
360       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
361
362
363       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
364       icy settings.
