NAME

6       policykit_auth_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the poli‐
7       cykit_auth processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_auth processes via flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       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
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep policykit_auth_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  policykit_auth_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  poli‐
25       cykit_auth_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_auth_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-helper,   /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-read-
31       auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
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       policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
41       policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for policykit_auth:
44
45       policykit_auth_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive -a policykit_auth_t can be used to make the
48       process type policykit_auth_t permissive. SELinux does not deny  access
49       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50       still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   poli‐
55       cykit_auth  policy  is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56       allow you to manipulate the policy  and  run  policykit_auth  with  the
57       tightest access possible.

FILE CONTEXTS

264       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
265       type.
266
267       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
268
269       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
270       SELinux  policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
271       their policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
272
273       The following file types are defined for policykit_auth:
274
275
276
277       policykit_auth_exec_t
278
279       - Set files with the policykit_auth_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
280       tion an executable to the policykit_auth_t domain.
281
282
283       Paths:
284            /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-helper,   /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
285            read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
286
287
288       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
289       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
290       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
291       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
292
293

COMMANDS

295       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
296       mappings.
297
298       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
299       process type is permissive.
300
301       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
302       icy modules.
303
304       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
305
306
307       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
308       icy settings.
