6 apm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the apm processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the apm processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The apm processes execute with the apm_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep apm_t
19
20
21
23 The apm_t SELinux type can be entered via the apm_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the apm_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/apm
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 apm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their apm processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for apm:
40
41 apmd_t, apm_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a apm_t can be used to make the process type
44 apm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. apm
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run apm with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
56 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
57
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
59
60
61
63 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
64 type.
65
66 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
67
68 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
69 SELinux apm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their apm
70 processes in as secure a method as possible.
71
72 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
73
74 SELinux defines the file context types for the apm, if you wanted to
75 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
76 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
77 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
78
79 semanage fcontext -a -t apmd_unit_file_t '/srv/myapm_content(/.*)?'
80 restorecon -R -v /srv/myapm_content
81
82 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
83 match multiple files.
84
85 The following file types are defined for apm:
86
87
88
89 apm_exec_t
90
91 - Set files with the apm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
92 cutable to the apm_t domain.
93
94
95
96 apmd_exec_t
97
98 - Set files with the apmd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
99 executable to the apmd_t domain.
100
101
102 Paths:
103 /usr/sbin/apmd, /usr/sbin/acpid, /usr/sbin/powersaved
104
105
106 apmd_initrc_exec_t
107
108 - Set files with the apmd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
109 an executable to the apmd_initrc_t domain.
110
111
112
113 apmd_lock_t
114
115 - Set files with the apmd_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
116 as apmd lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
117
118
119 Paths:
120 /var/lock/lmt-req.lock, /var/lock/subsys/acpid, /var/lock/sub‐
121 sys/lmt-req.lock
122
123
124 apmd_log_t
125
126 - Set files with the apmd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
127 apmd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
128
129
130
131 apmd_tmp_t
132
133 - Set files with the apmd_tmp_t type, if you want to store apmd tempo‐
134 rary files in the /tmp directories.
135
136
137
138 apmd_unit_file_t
139
140 - Set files with the apmd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
141 files as apmd unit content.
142
143
144
145 apmd_var_lib_t
146
147 - Set files with the apmd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the apmd
148 files under the /var/lib directory.
149
150
151
152 apmd_var_run_t
153
154 - Set files with the apmd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the apmd
155 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
156
157
158 Paths:
159 /var/run/.?acpid.socket, /var/run/apmd.pid, /var/run/acpid.pid,
160 /var/run/powersaved.pid, /var/run/powersave_socket
161
162
163 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
164 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
165 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
166 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
167
168
170 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
171 mappings.
172
173 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
174 process type is permissive.
175
176 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
177 icy modules.
178
179 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
180
181
182 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
183 icy settings.
