NAME

6       openvswitch_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy for the open‐
7       vswitch processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the openvswitch processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  openvswitch processes execute with the openvswitch_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 openvswitch_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   openvswitch_t   SELinux   type  can  be  entered  via  the  open‐
25       vswitch_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the openvswitch_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl,      /usr/bin/ovs-appctl,      /usr/sbin/ovsdb-ctl,
31       /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd,    /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server,     /usr/share/open‐
32       vswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl
33

PROCESS TYPES

35       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36       system
37
38       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
41       openvswitch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their open‐
42       vswitch processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44       The following process types are defined for openvswitch:
45
46       openvswitch_t
47
48       Note: semanage permissive -a openvswitch_t can  be  used  to  make  the
49       process  type openvswitch_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
51       still generated.
52
53

BOOLEANS

55       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  open‐
56       vswitch policy is extremely flexible  and  has  several  booleans  that
57       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run openvswitch with the tight‐
58       est access possible.
59
60
61
62       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
63       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
64       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
67
68
69
70       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
71       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
72
73       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
74
75
76
77       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
78       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
81
82
83
84       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
85       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
88
89
90
91       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
92       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to disable kernel module loading,  you  must  turn  on  the
99       secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
102
103
104

PORT TYPES

106       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
107
108       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
109       command:
110
111       semanage port -l
112
113
114       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
115       SELinux  openvswitch  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
116       their openvswitch processes in as secure a method as possible.
117
118       The following port types are defined for openvswitch:
119
120
121       openvswitch_port_t
122
123
124
125       Default Defined Ports:
126                 tcp 6634
127

MANAGED FILES

129       The SELinux process type openvswitch_t can manage  files  labeled  with
130       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
131       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
132       missions.

FILE CONTEXTS

205       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
206       type.
207
208       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
209
210       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
211       SELinux  openvswitch  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
212       their openvswitch processes in as secure a method as possible.
213
214       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
215
216       SELinux defines the file context types  for  the  openvswitch,  if  you
217       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
218       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
219       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
220
221       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t   openvswitch_unit_file_t   '/srv/myopen‐
222       vswitch_content(/.*)?'
223       restorecon -R -v /srv/myopenvswitch_content
224
225       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
226       match multiple files.
227
228       The following file types are defined for openvswitch:
229
230
231
232       openvswitch_exec_t
233
234       - Set files with the openvswitch_exec_t type, if you want to transition
235       an executable to the openvswitch_t domain.
236
237
238       Paths:
239            /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl,   /usr/bin/ovs-appctl,    /usr/sbin/ovsdb-ctl,
240            /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd,  /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server,  /usr/share/open‐
241            vswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl
242
243
244       openvswitch_log_t
245
246       - Set files with the openvswitch_log_t type, if you want to  treat  the
247       data  as openvswitch log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
248       tory.
249
250
251
252       openvswitch_rw_t
253
254       - Set files with the openvswitch_rw_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
255       files as openvswitch read/write content.
256
257
258
259       openvswitch_tmp_t
260
261       - Set files with the openvswitch_tmp_t type, if you want to store open‐
262       vswitch temporary files in the /tmp directories.
263
264
265
266       openvswitch_unit_file_t
267
268       - Set files with the openvswitch_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
269       the files as openvswitch unit content.
270
271
272
273       openvswitch_var_lib_t
274
275       -  Set  files with the openvswitch_var_lib_t type, if you want to store
276       the openvswitch files under the /var/lib directory.
277
278
279
280       openvswitch_var_run_t
281
282       - Set files with the openvswitch_var_run_t type, if you want  to  store
283       the openvswitch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
284
285
286
287       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
288       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
289       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
290       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
291
292

COMMANDS

294       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
295       mappings.
296
297       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
298       process type is permissive.
299
300       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
301       icy modules.
302
303       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
304
305       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
306
307
308       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
309       icy settings.
