NAME

6       certwatch_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the certwatch
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  certwatch_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the certwatch_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the certwatch_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.daily/certwatch
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       certwatch  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their cert‐
40       watch processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for certwatch:
43
44       certwatch_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  certwatch_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  certwatch_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  cert‐
54       watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run certwatch with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux process type certwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
69       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
70       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72       auth_cache_t
73
74            /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?
75
76       cert_t
77
78            /etc/(letsencrypt|certbot)/(live|archive)(/.*)?
79            /etc/pki(/.*)?
80            /etc/ssl(/.*)?
81            /etc/ipa/nssdb(/.*)?
82            /etc/httpd/alias(/.*)?
83            /etc/docker/certs.d(/.*)?
84            /usr/share/ssl/certs(/.*)?
85            /var/lib/letsencrypt(/.*)?
86            /usr/share/ssl/private(/.*)?
87            /var/named/chroot/etc/pki(/.*)?
88            /usr/share/ca-certificates(/.*)?
89            /usr/share/pki/ca-certificates(/.*)?
90            /usr/share/pki/ca-trust-source(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

94       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
95       type.
96
97       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
98
99       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
100       SELinux certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
101       certwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
102
103       The following file types are defined for certwatch:
104
105
106
107       certwatch_exec_t
108
109       - Set files with the certwatch_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
110       an executable to the certwatch_t domain.
111
112
113
114       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
115       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
116       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
117       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
118
119

COMMANDS

121       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
122       mappings.
123
124       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
125       process type is permissive.
126
127       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
128       icy modules.
129
130       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
131
132
133       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
134       icy settings.
