NAME

6       hostapd_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hostapd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  hostapd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  hostapd processes execute with the hostapd_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 hostapd_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  hostapd_t  SELinux type can be entered via the hostapd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the hostapd_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/hostapd
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       hostapd  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their hostapd
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for hostapd:
43
44       hostapd_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a hostapd_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  hostapd_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.  hostapd
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run hostapd 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

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type hostapd_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.

FILE CONTEXTS

142       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
143       type.
144
145       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
146
147       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
148       SELinux hostapd policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
149       hostapd processes in as secure a method as possible.
150
151       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
152
153       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the hostapd, if you wanted
154       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
155       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
156       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
157
158       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t   hostapd_unit_file_t   '/srv/myhostapd_con‐
159       tent(/.*)?'
160       restorecon -R -v /srv/myhostapd_content
161
162       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
163       match multiple files.
164
165       The following file types are defined for hostapd:
166
167
168
169       hostapd_exec_t
170
171       - Set files with the hostapd_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
172       executable to the hostapd_t domain.
173
174
175
176       hostapd_unit_file_t
177
178       - Set files with the hostapd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
179       files as hostapd unit content.
180
181
182
183       hostapd_var_run_t
184
185       - Set files with the hostapd_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
186       hostapd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
187
188
189
190       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
191       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
192       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
193       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
194
195

COMMANDS

197       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
198       mappings.
199
200       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
201       process type is permissive.
202
203       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
204       icy modules.
205
206       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
207
208
209       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
210       icy settings.
