6 ipsec_mgmt_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec_mgmt
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec_mgmt processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The ipsec_mgmt processes execute with the ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep ipsec_mgmt_t
20
24 The ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t,
25 shell_exec_t file types.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_mgmt_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/_plutorun, /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/_plutoload,
31 /usr/sbin/ipsec, /usr/sbin/strongswan, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutorun,
32 /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/nm-openswan-service,
33 /bin/d?ash, /bin/zsh.*, /bin/ksh.*, /bin/sash, /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash,
34 /bin/mksh, /bin/fish, /bin/bash, /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/fish, /sbin/nolo‐
35 gin, /usr/sbin/sesh, /usr/sbin/smrsh, /usr/bin/scponly,

40 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
41 system
42 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
44 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
46 ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
47 ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
48 The following process types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
50 ipsec_mgmt_t
52 Note: semanage permissive -a ipsec_mgmt_t can be used to make the
54 process type ipsec_mgmt_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
55 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
56 still generated.
57
60 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
61 ipsec_mgmt policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
62 allow you to manipulate the policy and run ipsec_mgmt with the tightest
63 access possible.
64 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
68 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
69 default.
70 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
72 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
76 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
79 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
83 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
86 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
90 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
91 default.
92 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
94 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
98 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
99 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
101 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
105 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
106 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
108 If you want to disable transitions to insmod, you must turn on the
112 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default.
113 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1

119 The SELinux process type ipsec_mgmt_t can manage files labeled with the
120 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
121 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

197 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
198 type.
199 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
201 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
203 SELinux ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
204 their ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
205 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
207 SELinux defines the file context types for the ipsec_mgmt, if you
209 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
210 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
211 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
212 semanage fcontext -a -t ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t '/srv/myipsec_mgmt_con‐
214 tent(/.*)?'
215 restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_mgmt_content
216 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
218 match multiple files.
219 The following file types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
221 ipsec_mgmt_exec_t
225 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t type, if you want to transition
227 an executable to the ipsec_mgmt_t domain.
228 Paths:
231 /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/_plutorun, /usr/lib(64)?/ipsec/_plutoload,
232 /usr/sbin/ipsec, /usr/sbin/strongswan, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plu‐
233 torun, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/nm-openswan-
234 service
235 ipsec_mgmt_lock_t
238 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
240 files as ipsec mgmt lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
241 Paths:
244 /var/lock/subsys/ipsec, /var/lock/subsys/strongswan
245 ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t
248 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t type, if you want to store
250 the ipsec mgmt files under the /run or /var/run directory.
251 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
255 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
256 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
257 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
258
261 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
262 mappings.
263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
265 process type is permissive.
266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
268 icy modules.
269 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
271 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
274 icy settings.
