NAME

6       httpd_passwd_selinux   -   Security   Enhanced  Linux  Policy  for  the
7       httpd_passwd processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The    httpd_passwd_t   SELinux   type   can   be   entered   via   the
25       httpd_passwd_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_passwd_t domain are the fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/libexec/httpd-ssl-pass-dialog
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       httpd_passwd  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing users to setup their
40       httpd_passwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for httpd_passwd:
43
44       httpd_passwd_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_passwd_t can be  used  to  make  the
47       process type httpd_passwd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       httpd_passwd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55       allow you to manipulate the policy and run httpd_passwd with the tight‐
56       est access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow httpd to use opencryptoki, you must  turn  on  the
61       httpd_use_opencryptoki boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P httpd_use_opencryptoki 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type httpd_passwd_t can manage files  labeled  with
76       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
77       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
78       missions.
79
80       pkcs_slotd_lock_t
81
82            /var/lock/opencryptoki(/.*)?
83
84       systemd_passwd_var_run_t
85
86            /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
87            /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

91       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
92       type.
93
94       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
95
96       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
97       SELinux  httpd_passwd  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup
98       their httpd_passwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
99
100       The following file types are defined for httpd_passwd:
101
102
103
104       httpd_passwd_exec_t
105
106       - Set files with the httpd_passwd_exec_t type, if you want  to  transi‐
107       tion an executable to the httpd_passwd_t domain.
108
109
110
111       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
112       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
113       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
114       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
115
116

COMMANDS

118       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
119       mappings.
120
121       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
122       process type is permissive.
123
124       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
125       icy modules.
126
127       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
128
129
130       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
131       icy settings.
