6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43 accountsd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 accountsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
75 The SELinux process type accountsd_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

124 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
125 type.
126 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
128 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
130 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
131 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
132 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
134 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
136 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
137 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
138 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
139 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_unit_file_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
141 tent(/.*)?'
142 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
143 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
145 match multiple files.
146 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
148 accountsd_exec_t
152 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
154 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
155 Paths:
158 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-
159 daemon
160 accountsd_unit_file_t
163 - Set files with the accountsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
165 the files as accountsd unit content.
166 accountsd_var_lib_t
170 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
172 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
173 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
177 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
178 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
179 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
180
183 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
184 mappings.
185 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
187 process type is permissive.
188 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
190 icy modules.
191 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
193 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
196 icy settings.
