NAME

6       ipa_helper_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipa_helper
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipa_helper processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  ipa_helper  processes  execute with the ipa_helper_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 ipa_helper_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  ipa_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipa_helper_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the ipa_helper_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/libexec/ipa/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains,
31       /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org.freeipa.server.conncheck,
32       /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains
33

PROCESS TYPES

35       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36       system
37
38       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
41       ipa_helper  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to setup their
42       ipa_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44       The following process types are defined for ipa_helper:
45
46       ipa_helper_t
47
48       Note: semanage permissive -a ipa_helper_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
49       process  type  ipa_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
51       still generated.
52
53

BOOLEANS

55       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
56       ipa_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans  that
57       allow you to manipulate the policy and run ipa_helper with the tightest
58       access possible.
59
60
61
62       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
63       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
64       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

MANAGED FILES

159       The SELinux process type ipa_helper_t can manage files labeled with the
160       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
161       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
162
163       ipa_log_t
164
165            /var/log/ipa(/.*)?
166            /var/log/ipareplica-conncheck.log.*
167
168       ipa_var_run_t
169
170            /var/run/ipa(/.*)?
171
172       sssd_var_lib_t
173
174            /var/lib/sss(/.*)?
175
176

FILE CONTEXTS

178       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179       type.
180
181       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
184       SELinux ipa_helper policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
185       their ipa_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187       The following file types are defined for ipa_helper:
188
189
190
191       ipa_helper_exec_t
192
193       -  Set files with the ipa_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
194       an executable to the ipa_helper_t domain.
195
196
197       Paths:
198            /usr/libexec/ipa/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains,
199            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org.freeipa.server.conncheck,
200            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains
201
202
203       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
204       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
205       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
206       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
207
208

COMMANDS

210       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
211       mappings.
212
213       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
214       process type is permissive.
215
216       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
217       icy modules.
218
219       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
220
221
222       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
223       icy settings.
