6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
21
22
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
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 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43
44 accountsd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_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.
54 accountsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
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 allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type accountsd_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

146 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
147 type.
148
149 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
150
151 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
152 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
153 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
154
155 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
156
157 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
158 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
159 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
160 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
161
162 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_unit_file_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
163 tent(/.*)?'
164 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
165
166 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
167 match multiple files.
168
169 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
170
171
172
173 accountsd_exec_t
174
175 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
176 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
177
178
179 Paths:
180 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-
181 daemon
182
183
184 accountsd_unit_file_t
185
186 - Set files with the accountsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
187 the files as accountsd unit content.
188
189
190
191 accountsd_var_lib_t
192
193 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
194 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
195
196
197
198 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
199 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
200 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
201 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
202
203
205 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
206 mappings.
207
208 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
209 process type is permissive.
210
211 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
212 icy modules.
213
214 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
215
216
217 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
218 icy settings.
