6 httpd_passwd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 httpd_passwd processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd_passwd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The httpd_passwd processes execute with the httpd_passwd_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 httpd_passwd_t
20
21
22
24 The httpd_passwd_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 httpd_passwd_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_passwd_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/httpd-ssl-pass-dialog
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 httpd_passwd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 httpd_passwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for httpd_passwd:
43
44 httpd_passwd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_passwd_t can be used to make the
47 process type httpd_passwd_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 httpd_passwd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run httpd_passwd with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
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
97 The SELinux process type httpd_passwd_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.
101
102 systemd_passwd_var_run_t
103
104 /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
105 /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
106
107
109 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
110 type.
111
112 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
113
114 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
115 SELinux httpd_passwd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
116 their httpd_passwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
117
118 The following file types are defined for httpd_passwd:
119
120
121
122 httpd_passwd_exec_t
123
124 - Set files with the httpd_passwd_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
125 tion an executable to the httpd_passwd_t domain.
126
127
128
129 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
130 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
131 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
132 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
133
134
136 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
137 mappings.
138
139 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
140 process type is permissive.
141
142 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
143 icy modules.
144
145 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
146
147
148 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
149 icy settings.
