6 prosody_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the prosody pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the prosody processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The prosody processes execute with the prosody_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 prosody_t
20
21
22
24 The prosody_t SELinux type can be entered via the prosody_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the prosody_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/prosody, /usr/bin/prosodyctl
31
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 prosody policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their prosody
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for prosody:
43
44 prosody_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a prosody_t can be used to make the process
47 type prosody_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
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. prosody
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run prosody with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.

180
181 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
182 command:
183
184 semanage port -l
185
186
187 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
188 SELinux prosody policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their

191 The following port types are defined for prosody:
192

195
196
197
198 Default Defined Ports:
199 tcp 5280-5281
200
202 The SELinux process type prosody_t can manage files labeled with the
203 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
204 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

258 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
259 type.
260
261 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
262
263 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
264 SELinux prosody policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
265 prosody processes in as secure a method as possible.
266
267 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
268
269 SELinux defines the file context types for the prosody, if you wanted
270 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
271 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
272 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
273
274 semanage fcontext -a -t prosody_var_run_t '/srv/myprosody_con‐
275 tent(/.*)?'
276 restorecon -R -v /srv/myprosody_content
277
278 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
279 match multiple files.
280
281 The following file types are defined for prosody:
282
283
284
285 prosody_exec_t
286
287 - Set files with the prosody_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
288 executable to the prosody_t domain.
289
290
291 Paths:
292 /usr/bin/prosody, /usr/bin/prosodyctl
293
294
295 prosody_log_t
296
297 - Set files with the prosody_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
298 as prosody log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
299
300
301
302 prosody_tmp_t
303
304 - Set files with the prosody_tmp_t type, if you want to store prosody
305 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
306
307
308
309 prosody_unit_file_t
310
311 - Set files with the prosody_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
312 files as prosody unit content.
313
314
315
316 prosody_var_lib_t
317
318 - Set files with the prosody_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
319 prosody files under the /var/lib directory.
320
321
322
323 prosody_var_run_t
324
325 - Set files with the prosody_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
326 prosody files under the /run or /var/run directory.
327
328
329
330 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
331 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
332 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
333 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
334
335
337 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
338 mappings.
339
340 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
341 process type is permissive.
342
343 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
344 icy modules.
345
346 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
347
348 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
349
350
351 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
352 icy settings.
