6 policykit_auth_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the poli‐
7 cykit_auth processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_auth processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The policykit_auth processes execute with the policykit_auth_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep policykit_auth_t
20
24 The policykit_auth_t SELinux type can be entered via the poli‐
25 cykit_auth_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_auth_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization, /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
31 helper, /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1, /usr/lib/poli‐
32 cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
33 helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1

36 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
37 system
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
42 policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
43 policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
44 The following process types are defined for policykit_auth:
46 policykit_auth_t
48 Note: semanage permissive -a policykit_auth_t can be used to make the
50 process type policykit_auth_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
51 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
52 still generated.
53
56 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. poli‐
57 cykit_auth policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
58 allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_auth with the
59 tightest access possible.
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
64 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
65 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
67 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
71 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
72 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
74 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
78 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
79 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
81
85 The SELinux process type policykit_auth_t can manage files labeled with
86 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
87 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
88 missions.

163 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164 type.
165 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
169 SELinux policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
170 their policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
171 The following file types are defined for policykit_auth:
173 policykit_auth_exec_t
177 - Set files with the policykit_auth_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
179 tion an executable to the policykit_auth_t domain.
180 Paths:
183 /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization, /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
184 helper, /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1, /usr/lib/poli‐
185 cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
186 helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
187 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
190 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
191 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
192 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
193
196 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
197 mappings.
198 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
200 process type is permissive.
201 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
203 icy modules.
204 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
206 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
209 icy settings.
