6 certmaster_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the certmaster
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the certmaster processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The certmaster processes execute with the certmaster_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep certmaster_t
20
21
22
24 The certmaster_t SELinux type can be entered via the certmaster_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the certmaster_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/certmaster
31
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 certmaster policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cert‐
40 master processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for certmaster:
43
44 certmaster_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a certmaster_t can be used to make the
47 process type certmaster_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cert‐
54 master policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run certmaster with the tightest
56 access possible.

171 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
172
173 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
174 command:
175
176 semanage port -l
177
178
179 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
180 SELinux certmaster policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
181 their certmaster processes in as secure a method as possible.
182
183 The following port types are defined for certmaster:
184
185
186 certmaster_port_t
187
188
189
190 Default Defined Ports:
191 tcp 51235
192
194 The SELinux process type certmaster_t can manage files labeled with the
195 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
196 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

262 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
263 type.
264
265 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
266
267 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
268 SELinux certmaster policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
269 their certmaster processes in as secure a method as possible.
270
271 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
272
273 SELinux defines the file context types for the certmaster, if you
274 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
275 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
276 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
277
278 semanage fcontext -a -t certmaster_var_run_t '/srv/mycertmaster_con‐
279 tent(/.*)?'
280 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycertmaster_content
281
282 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
283 match multiple files.
284
285 The following file types are defined for certmaster:
286
287
288
289 certmaster_etc_rw_t
290
291 - Set files with the certmaster_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
292 files as certmaster etc read/write content.
293
294
295
296 certmaster_exec_t
297
298 - Set files with the certmaster_exec_t type, if you want to transition
299 an executable to the certmaster_t domain.
300
301
302
303 certmaster_initrc_exec_t
304
305 - Set files with the certmaster_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to
306 transition an executable to the certmaster_initrc_t domain.
307
308
309
310 certmaster_var_lib_t
311
312 - Set files with the certmaster_var_lib_t type, if you want to store
313 the certmaster files under the /var/lib directory.
314
315
316
317 certmaster_var_log_t
318
319 - Set files with the certmaster_var_log_t type, if you want to treat
320 the data as certmaster var log data, usually stored under the /var/log
321 directory.
322
323
324
325 certmaster_var_run_t
326
327 - Set files with the certmaster_var_run_t type, if you want to store
328 the certmaster files under the /run or /var/run directory.
329
330
331
332 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
333 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
334 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
335 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
336
337
339 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
340 mappings.
341
342 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
343 process type is permissive.
344
345 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
346 icy modules.
347
348 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
349
350 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
351
352
353 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
354 icy settings.
