6 afs_vlserver_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 afs_vlserver processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the afs_vlserver processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The afs_vlserver processes execute with the afs_vlserver_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep afs_vlserver_t
20
21
22
24 The afs_vlserver_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 afs_vlserver_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the afs_vlserver_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/afs/bin/vlserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/vlserver
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 afs_vlserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 afs_vlserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for afs_vlserver:
43
44 afs_vlserver_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a afs_vlserver_t can be used to make the
47 process type afs_vlserver_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 afs_vlserver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run afs_vlserver with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
68 The SELinux process type afs_vlserver_t can manage files labeled with
69 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
70 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71 missions.
72
73 afs_logfile_t
74
75 /usr/afs/logs(/.*)?
76
77 afs_vl_db_t
78
79 /usr/afs/db/vl.*
80
81
83 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
84 type.
85
86 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
87
88 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
89 SELinux afs_vlserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
90 their afs_vlserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
91
92 The following file types are defined for afs_vlserver:
93
94
95
96 afs_vlserver_exec_t
97
98 - Set files with the afs_vlserver_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
99 tion an executable to the afs_vlserver_t domain.
100
101
102 Paths:
103 /usr/afs/bin/vlserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/vlserver
104
105
106 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
107 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
108 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
109 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
110
111
113 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
114 mappings.
115
116 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
117 process type is permissive.
118
119 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
120 icy modules.
121
122 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
123
124
125 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
126 icy settings.
