6 postfix_map_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_map processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_map processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_map processes execute with the postfix_map_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 postfix_map_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_map_t SELinux type can be entered via the post‐
25 fix_map_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_map_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/postmap
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 postfix_map policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their post‐
40 fix_map processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_map:
43
44 postfix_map_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_map_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_map_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. post‐
54 fix_map policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_map with the tight‐
56 est access possible.

59
60 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
69 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
70 default.

73
74
75
76 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
77 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78 ean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
85 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96
97
98
99 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
101 default.
102
103 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118
119
120
121 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
122 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
125
126
127
128 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
129 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
130
131 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
132
133
134
135 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
136 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
137
138 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
139
140
141
143 The SELinux process type postfix_map_t can manage files labeled with
144 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
145 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
146 missions.
147
148 mailman_data_t
149
150 /etc/mailman.*
151 /var/lib/mailman(/.*)?
152 /var/spool/mailman.*
153
154 postfix_etc_t
155
156 /etc/postfix.*
157
158 postfix_map_tmp_t
159
160
161
163 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164 type.
165
166 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167
168 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
169 SELinux postfix_map policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
170 their postfix_map processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_map, if you
175 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
176 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
177 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_map_tmp_t '/srv/mypostfix_map_con‐
180 tent(/.*)?'
181 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_map_content
182
183 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
184 match multiple files.
185
186 The following file types are defined for postfix_map:
187
188
189
190 postfix_map_exec_t
191
192 - Set files with the postfix_map_exec_t type, if you want to transition
193 an executable to the postfix_map_t domain.
194
195
196
197 postfix_map_tmp_t
198
199 - Set files with the postfix_map_tmp_t type, if you want to store post‐
200 fix map temporary files in the /tmp directories.
201
202
203
204 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
205 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
206 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
207 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
208
209
211 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
212 mappings.
213
214 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
215 process type is permissive.
216
217 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
218 icy modules.
219
220 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
221
222
223 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
224 icy settings.
