6 certwatch_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the certwatch
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the certwatch processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The certwatch processes execute with the certwatch_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 certwatch_t
20
21
22
24 The certwatch_t SELinux type can be entered via the certwatch_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the certwatch_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /etc/cron.daily/certwatch
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 certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cert‐
40 watch processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for certwatch:
43
44 certwatch_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a certwatch_t can be used to make the
47 process type certwatch_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 watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run certwatch with the tightest access
56 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 certwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
69 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
70 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72 auth_cache_t
73
74 /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?
75
76 cert_t
77
78 /etc/(letsencrypt|certbot)/(live|archive)(/.*)?
79 /etc/pki(/.*)?
80 /etc/ssl(/.*)?
81 /etc/ipa/nssdb(/.*)?
82 /etc/httpd/alias(/.*)?
83 /etc/docker/certs.d(/.*)?
84 /usr/share/ssl/certs(/.*)?
85 /var/lib/letsencrypt(/.*)?
86 /usr/share/ssl/private(/.*)?
87 /var/named/chroot/etc/pki(/.*)?
88 /usr/share/ca-certificates(/.*)?
89 /usr/share/pki/ca-certificates(/.*)?
90 /usr/share/pki/ca-trust-source(/.*)?
91
92
94 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
95 type.
96
97 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
98
99 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
100 SELinux certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
101 certwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
102
103 The following file types are defined for certwatch:
104
105
106
107 certwatch_exec_t
108
109 - Set files with the certwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition
110 an executable to the certwatch_t domain.
111
112
113
114 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
115 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
116 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
117 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
118
119
121 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
122 mappings.
123
124 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
125 process type is permissive.
126
127 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
128 icy modules.
129
130 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
131
132
133 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
134 icy settings.
