NAME

6       policykit_auth_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the poli‐
7       cykit_auth processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  policykit_auth_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  poli‐
25       cykit_auth_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_auth_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization,       /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
31       helper,     /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1,     /usr/lib/poli‐
32       cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper,      /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
33       helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
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       policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
43       policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
44
45       The following process types are defined for policykit_auth:
46
47       policykit_auth_t
48
49       Note:  semanage  permissive -a policykit_auth_t can be used to make the
50       process type policykit_auth_t permissive. SELinux does not deny  access
51       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
52       still generated.
53
54

BOOLEANS

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

183       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐

FILE CONTEXTS

276       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
277       type.
278
279       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
280
281       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
282       SELinux  policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
283       their policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
284
285       The following file types are defined for policykit_auth:
286
287
288
289       policykit_auth_exec_t
290
291       - Set files with the policykit_auth_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
292       tion an executable to the policykit_auth_t domain.
293
294
295       Paths:
296            /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization,  /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
297            helper,  /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1,   /usr/lib/poli‐
298            cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
299            helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
300
301
302       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
303       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
304       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
305       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
306
307

COMMANDS

309       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
310       mappings.
311
312       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
313       process type is permissive.
314
315       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
316       icy modules.
317
318       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
319
320
321       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
322       icy settings.
