NAME

6       gpg_helper_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg_helper
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  gpg_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpg_helper_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_helper_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys.*
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       gpg_helper  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to setup their
40       gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for gpg_helper:
43
44       gpg_helper_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_helper_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  gpg_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       gpg_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans  that
55       allow you to manipulate the policy and run gpg_helper with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
83       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

FILE CONTEXTS

97       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
98       type.
99
100       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
101
102       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
103       SELinux gpg_helper policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
104       their gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
105
106       The following file types are defined for gpg_helper:
107
108
109
110       gpg_helper_exec_t
111
112       -  Set files with the gpg_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
113       an executable to the gpg_helper_t domain.
114
115
116
117       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
118       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
119       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
120       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
121
122

COMMANDS

124       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
125       mappings.
126
127       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
128       process type is permissive.
129
130       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
131       icy modules.
132
133       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
134
135
136       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
137       icy settings.
