NAME

6       couchdb_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the couchdb pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  couchdb  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  couchdb processes execute with the couchdb_t SELinux type. You can
14       check if you have these processes running by executing the  ps  command
15       with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep couchdb_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  couchdb_t  SELinux type can be entered via the couchdb_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the couchdb_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/libexec/couchdb
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       couchdb  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their couchdb
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for couchdb:
43
44       couchdb_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a couchdb_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  couchdb_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  couchdb
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run couchdb with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
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

PORT TYPES

97       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
98
99       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
100       command:
101
102       semanage port -l
103
104
105       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
106       SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
107       couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
108
109       The following port types are defined for couchdb:
110
111
112       couchdb_port_t
113
114
115
116       Default Defined Ports:
117                 tcp 5984,6984
118                 udp 5984,6984
119

MANAGED FILES

121       The  SELinux  process  type couchdb_t can manage files labeled with the
122       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
123       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
124
125       cluster_conf_t

FILE CONTEXTS

177       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
178       type.
179
180       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
181
182       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
183       SELinux  couchdb  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
184       couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
185
186       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
187
188       SELinux defines the file context types for the couchdb, if  you  wanted
189       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
190       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
191       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
192
193       semanage   fcontext   -a  -t  couchdb_unit_file_t  '/srv/mycouchdb_con‐
194       tent(/.*)?'
195       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycouchdb_content
196
197       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
198       match multiple files.
199
200       The following file types are defined for couchdb:
201
202
203
204       couchdb_conf_t
205
206       -  Set  files  with  the  couchdb_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
207       files as couchdb configuration data,  usually  stored  under  the  /etc
208       directory.
209
210
211
212       couchdb_exec_t
213
214       -  Set files with the couchdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
215       executable to the couchdb_t domain.
216
217
218
219       couchdb_initrc_exec_t
220
221       - Set files with the couchdb_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
222       tion an executable to the couchdb_initrc_t domain.
223
224
225
226       couchdb_log_t
227
228       -  Set files with the couchdb_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
229       as couchdb log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
230
231
232
233       couchdb_tmp_t
234
235       - Set files with the couchdb_tmp_t type, if you want to  store  couchdb
236       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
237
238
239
240       couchdb_unit_file_t
241
242       - Set files with the couchdb_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
243       files as couchdb unit content.
244
245
246
247       couchdb_var_lib_t
248
249       - Set files with the couchdb_var_lib_t type, if you want to  store  the
250       couchdb files under the /var/lib directory.
251
252
253
254       couchdb_var_run_t
255
256       -  Set  files with the couchdb_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
257       couchdb files under the /run or /var/run directory.
258
259
260
261       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
262       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
263       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
264       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
265
266

COMMANDS

268       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
269       mappings.
270
271       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
272       process type is permissive.
273
274       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
275       icy modules.
276
277       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
278
279       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
280
281
282       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
283       icy settings.
