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

291 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
292 type.
293
294 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
295
296 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
297 SELinux certmonger policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
298 their certmonger processes in as secure a method as possible.
299
300 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
301
302 SELinux defines the file context types for the certmonger, if you
303 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
304 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
305 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
306
307 semanage fcontext -a -t certmonger_var_run_t '/srv/mycertmonger_con‐
308 tent(/.*)?'
309 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycertmonger_content
310
311 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
312 match multiple files.
313
314 The following file types are defined for certmonger:
315
316
317
318 certmonger_exec_t
319
320 - Set files with the certmonger_exec_t type, if you want to transition
321 an executable to the certmonger_t domain.
322
323
324
325 certmonger_initrc_exec_t
326
327 - Set files with the certmonger_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to
328 transition an executable to the certmonger_initrc_t domain.
329
330
331
332 certmonger_unconfined_exec_t
333
334 - Set files with the certmonger_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want to
335 transition an executable to the certmonger_unconfined_t domain.
336
337
338
339 certmonger_unit_file_t
340
341 - Set files with the certmonger_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
342 the files as certmonger unit content.
343
344
345 Paths:
346 /etc/systemd/system/dirsrv.target.wants(/.*)?, /usr/lib/sys‐
347 temd/system/certmonger.*
348
349
350 certmonger_var_lib_t
351
352 - Set files with the certmonger_var_lib_t type, if you want to store
353 the certmonger files under the /var/lib directory.
354
355
356
357 certmonger_var_run_t
358
359 - Set files with the certmonger_var_run_t type, if you want to store
360 the certmonger files under the /run or /var/run directory.
361
362
363
364 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
365 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
366 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
367 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
368
369
371 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
372 mappings.
373
374 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
375 process type is permissive.
376
377 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
378 icy modules.
379
380 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
381
382
383 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
384 icy settings.
