NAME

6       ipsec_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The ipsec processes execute with the  ipsec_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep ipsec_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The ipsec_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipsec_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/libexec/strongimcv/.*,                 /usr/libexec/strongswan/.*,
28       /usr/lib/ipsec/spi,     /usr/lib/ipsec/pluto,    /usr/lib/ipsec/eroute,
29       /usr/libexec/ipsec/spi, /usr/libexec/ipsec/pluto, /usr/sbin/charon-sys‐
30       temd,       /usr/lib/ipsec/klipsdebug,       /usr/libexec/ipsec/eroute,
31       /usr/libexec/ipsec/addconn, /usr/libexec/ipsec/klipsdebug
32

PROCESS TYPES

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

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   ipsec
55       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56       manipulate the policy and run ipsec with the tightest access 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
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
75       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78
79
80

PORT TYPES

82       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
83
84       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
85       command:
86
87       semanage port -l
88
89
90       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
91       SELinux  ipsec  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
92       ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
93
94       The following port types are defined for ipsec:
95
96
97       ipsecnat_port_t
98
99
100
101       Default Defined Ports:
102                 tcp 4500
103                 udp 4500
104

MANAGED FILES

106       The SELinux process type ipsec_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
107       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
108       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

214       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
215       type.
216
217       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
218
219       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
220       SELinux ipsec policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
221       ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
222
223       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
224
225
226       ipsec  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types
227       under the /var/run/pluto directory.  If you would  like  to  store  the
228       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
229       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
230       /srv directory you would execute the following command:
231
232       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/pluto /srv/pluto
233       restorecon -R -v /srv/pluto
234
235       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
236
237       SELinux  defines the file context types for the ipsec, if you wanted to
238       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
239       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
240       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
241
242       semanage  fcontext   -a   -t   ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t   '/srv/myipsec_con‐
243       tent(/.*)?'
244       restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_content
245
246       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
247       match multiple files.
248
249       The following file types are defined for ipsec:
250
251
252
253       ipsec_conf_file_t

384
385
386       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
387       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
388       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
389       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
390
391

COMMANDS

393       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
394       mappings.
395
396       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
397       process type is permissive.
398
399       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
400       icy modules.
401
402       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
403
404       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
405
406
407       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
408       icy settings.
