6 tomcat_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the tomcat pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the tomcat processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The tomcat processes execute with the tomcat_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep tomcat_t
20
24 The tomcat_t SELinux type can be entered via the tomcat_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the tomcat_t domain are the following:
28 /usr/sbin/tomcat(6)?, /usr/libexec/tomcat/server
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 tomcat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their tomcat
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40 The following process types are defined for tomcat:
42 tomcat_t
44 Note: semanage permissive -a tomcat_t can be used to make the process
46 type tomcat_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. tomcat
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run tomcat with the tightest access possible.
55 If you want to allow tomcat to use executable memory and executable
59 stack, you must turn on the tomcat_use_execmem boolean. Disabled by
60 default.
61 setsebool -P tomcat_use_execmem 1
63 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
67 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
68 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
71 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
75 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
76 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
78 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
82 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
83 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
85 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
89 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
90 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
92 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
96 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
97 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

103 The SELinux process type tomcat_t can manage files labeled with the
104 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
105 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

233 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
234 type.
235 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
237 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
239 SELinux tomcat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
240 tomcat processes in as secure a method as possible.
241 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
243 SELinux defines the file context types for the tomcat, if you wanted to
245 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
246 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
247 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
248 semanage fcontext -a -t tomcat_unit_file_t '/srv/mytomcat_con‐
250 tent(/.*)?'
251 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytomcat_content
252 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
254 match multiple files.
255 The following file types are defined for tomcat:
257 tomcat_cache_t
261 - Set files with the tomcat_cache_t type, if you want to store the
263 files under the /var/cache directory.
264 tomcat_exec_t
268 - Set files with the tomcat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
270 executable to the tomcat_t domain.
271 Paths:
274 /usr/sbin/tomcat(6)?, /usr/libexec/tomcat/server
275 tomcat_log_t
278 - Set files with the tomcat_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
280 as tomcat log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
281 tomcat_tmp_t
285 - Set files with the tomcat_tmp_t type, if you want to store tomcat
287 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
288 tomcat_unit_file_t
292 - Set files with the tomcat_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
294 files as tomcat unit content.
295 tomcat_var_lib_t
299 - Set files with the tomcat_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
301 tomcat files under the /var/lib directory.
302 Paths:
305 /var/lib/tomcat6?(/.*)?, /var/lib/tomcats?(/.*)?
306 tomcat_var_run_t
309 - Set files with the tomcat_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
311 tomcat files under the /run or /var/run directory.
312 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
316 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
317 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
318 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
319
322 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
323 mappings.
324 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
326 process type is permissive.
327 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
329 icy modules.
330 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
332 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
335 icy settings.
