6 pcscd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pcscd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pcscd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The pcscd processes execute with the pcscd_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 pcscd_t
19
20
21
23 The pcscd_t SELinux type can be entered via the pcscd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the pcscd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/pcscd
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 pcscd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pcscd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for pcscd:
40
41 pcscd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a pcscd_t can be used to make the process
44 type pcscd_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. pcscd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run pcscd with the tightest access possible.

145 The SELinux process type pcscd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
146 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
147 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
200 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
201
202 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
203 SELinux pcscd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
204 pcscd processes in as secure a method as possible.
205
206 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
207
208
209 pcscd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
210 under the /var/run/pcscd directory. If you would like to store the
211 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
212 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
213 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
214
215 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/pcscd /srv/pcscd
216 restorecon -R -v /srv/pcscd
217
218 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
219
220 SELinux defines the file context types for the pcscd, if you wanted to
221 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
222 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
223 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
224
225 semanage fcontext -a -t pcscd_var_run_t '/srv/mypcscd_content(/.*)?'
226 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypcscd_content
227
228 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
229 match multiple files.
230
231 The following file types are defined for pcscd:
232
233
234
235 pcscd_exec_t
236
237 - Set files with the pcscd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
238 executable to the pcscd_t domain.
239
240
241
242 pcscd_initrc_exec_t
243
244 - Set files with the pcscd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
245 tion an executable to the pcscd_initrc_t domain.
246
247
248
249 pcscd_var_run_t
250
251 - Set files with the pcscd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
252 pcscd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
253
254
255 Paths:
256 /var/run/pcscd(/.*)?, /var/run/pcscd.events(/.*)?,
257 /var/run/pcscd.pid, /var/run/pcscd.pub, /var/run/pcscd.comm
258
259
260 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
261 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
262 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
263 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
264
265
267 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
268 mappings.
269
270 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
271 process type is permissive.
272
273 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
274 icy modules.
275
276 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
277
278
279 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
280 icy settings.
