6 ipmievd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipmievd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipmievd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The ipmievd processes execute with the ipmievd_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep ipmievd_t
20
24 The ipmievd_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipmievd_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the ipmievd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/ipmievd, /usr/libexec/openipmi-helper
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 ipmievd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipmievd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for ipmievd:
43 ipmievd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ipmievd_t can be used to make the process
47 type ipmievd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ipmievd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run ipmievd with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86 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 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
97 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
98 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1

104 The SELinux process type ipmievd_t can manage files labeled with the
105 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
106 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

153 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
154 type.
155 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
157 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
159 SELinux ipmievd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
160 ipmievd processes in as secure a method as possible.
161 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
163 SELinux defines the file context types for the ipmievd, if you wanted
165 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
166 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
167 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
168 semanage fcontext -a -t ipmievd_unit_file_t '/srv/myipmievd_con‐
170 tent(/.*)?'
171 restorecon -R -v /srv/myipmievd_content
172 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
174 match multiple files.
175 The following file types are defined for ipmievd:
177 ipmievd_exec_t
181 - Set files with the ipmievd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
183 executable to the ipmievd_t domain.
184 Paths:
187 /usr/sbin/ipmievd, /usr/libexec/openipmi-helper
188 ipmievd_lock_t
191 - Set files with the ipmievd_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
193 files as ipmievd lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
194 ipmievd_unit_file_t
198 - Set files with the ipmievd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
200 files as ipmievd unit content.
201 ipmievd_var_run_t
205 - Set files with the ipmievd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
207 ipmievd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
208 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
212 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
213 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
214 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
215
218 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
219 mappings.
220 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
222 process type is permissive.
223 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
225 icy modules.
226 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
228 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
231 icy settings.
