6 cyrus_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cyrus processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cyrus processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The cyrus processes execute with the cyrus_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 cyrus_t
19
20
21
23 The cyrus_t SELinux type can be entered via the cyrus_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the cyrus_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cyrus pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for cyrus:
40
41 cyrus_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a cyrus_t can be used to make the process
44 type cyrus_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cyrus
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run cyrus with the tightest access possible.

97
98
99
100 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
101 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
102 ean. Enabled by default.

167 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
168
169 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
170 command:
171
172 semanage port -l
173
174
175 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
176 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
177 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
178
179 The following port types are defined for cyrus:
180
181
182 cyrus_imapd_port_t
183
184
185
186 Default Defined Ports:
187 tcp 2005
188
190 The SELinux process type cyrus_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
191 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
192 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

260 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
261 type.
262
263 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
264
265 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
266 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
267 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
268
269 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
270
271 SELinux defines the file context types for the cyrus, if you wanted to
272 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
273 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
274 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
275
276 semanage fcontext -a -t cyrus_var_run_t '/srv/mycyrus_content(/.*)?'
277 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycyrus_content
278
279 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
280 match multiple files.
281
282 The following file types are defined for cyrus:
283
284
285
286 cyrus_exec_t
287
288 - Set files with the cyrus_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
289 executable to the cyrus_t domain.
290
291
292 Paths:
293 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
294
295
296 cyrus_initrc_exec_t
297
298 - Set files with the cyrus_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
299 tion an executable to the cyrus_initrc_t domain.
300
301
302
303 cyrus_keytab_t
304
305 - Set files with the cyrus_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
306 files as kerberos keytab files.
307
308
309
310 cyrus_tmp_t
311
312 - Set files with the cyrus_tmp_t type, if you want to store cyrus tem‐
313 porary files in the /tmp directories.
314
315
316
317 cyrus_var_lib_t
318
319 - Set files with the cyrus_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
320 cyrus files under the /var/lib directory.
321
322
323 Paths:
324 /var/imap(/.*)?, /var/lib/imap(/.*)?
325
326
327 cyrus_var_run_t
328
329 - Set files with the cyrus_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
330 cyrus files under the /run or /var/run directory.
331
332
333
334 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
335 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
336 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
337 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
338
339
341 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
342 mappings.
343
344 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
345 process type is permissive.
346
347 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
348 icy modules.
349
350 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
351
352 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
353
354
355 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
356 icy settings.
