NAME

6       openvpn_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the openvpn pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  openvpn  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  openvpn processes execute with the openvpn_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 openvpn_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  openvpn_t  SELinux type can be entered via the openvpn_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the openvpn_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/openvpn
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       openvpn  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their openvpn
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for openvpn:
43
44       openvpn_t, openvpn_unconfined_script_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a openvpn_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  openvpn_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.  openvpn
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run openvpn with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
57
58
59
60       If you want to determine whether openvpn can connect to  the  TCP  net‐
61       work, you must turn on the openvpn_can_network_connect boolean. Enabled
62       by default.
63
64       setsebool -P openvpn_can_network_connect 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to determine whether openvpn can  read  generic  user  home
69       content  files,  you  must turn on the openvpn_enable_homedirs boolean.
70       Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P openvpn_enable_homedirs 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow openvpn to run unconfined scripts, you  must  turn
77       on the openvpn_run_unconfined boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P openvpn_run_unconfined 1
80
81
82
83       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
84       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
85       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
88
89
90
91       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
92       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
99       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
102
103
104
105       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
106       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
107
108       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
109
110
111
112       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
113       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
114
115       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
116
117
118
119       If  you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the
120       use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
121
122       setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
123
124
125

PORT TYPES

127       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
128
129       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
130       command:
131
132       semanage port -l
133
134
135       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
136       SELinux openvpn policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
137       openvpn processes in as secure a method as possible.
138
139       The following port types are defined for openvpn:
140
141
142       openvpn_port_t
143
144
145
146       Default Defined Ports:
147                 tcp 1194
148                 udp 1194
149

MANAGED FILES

151       The  SELinux  process  type openvpn_t can manage files labeled with the
152       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
153       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

287       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
288       type.
289
290       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
291
292       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
293       SELinux  openvpn  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
294       openvpn processes in as secure a method as possible.
295
296       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
297
298
299       openvpn policy stores data with multiple different file  context  types
300       under  the  /var/run/openvpn directory.  If you would like to store the
301       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
302       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
303       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
304
305       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/openvpn /srv/openvpn
306       restorecon -R -v /srv/openvpn
307
308       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
309
310       SELinux defines the file context types for the openvpn, if  you  wanted
311       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
312       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
313       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
314
315       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t   openvpn_var_run_t  '/srv/myopenvpn_con‐
316       tent(/.*)?'
317       restorecon -R -v /srv/myopenvpn_content
318
319       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
320       match multiple files.
321
322       The following file types are defined for openvpn:
323
324
325
326       openvpn_etc_rw_t
327
328       -  Set  files  with the openvpn_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
329       files as openvpn etc read/write content.
330
331
332
333       openvpn_etc_t
334
335       - Set files with the openvpn_etc_t type, if you want to  store  openvpn
336       files in the /etc directories.
337
338
339
340       openvpn_exec_t
341
342       -  Set files with the openvpn_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
343       executable to the openvpn_t domain.
344
345
346
347       openvpn_initrc_exec_t
348
349       - Set files with the openvpn_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
350       tion an executable to the openvpn_initrc_t domain.
351
352
353
354       openvpn_status_t
355
356       -  Set  files  with the openvpn_status_t type, if you want to treat the
357       files as openvpn status data.
358
359
360
361       openvpn_tmp_t
362
363       - Set files with the openvpn_tmp_t type, if you want to  store  openvpn
364       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
365
366
367
368       openvpn_unconfined_script_exec_t
369
370       - Set files with the openvpn_unconfined_script_exec_t type, if you want
371       to transition an executable to the openvpn_unconfined_script_t domain.
372
373
374
375       openvpn_var_lib_t
376
377       - Set files with the openvpn_var_lib_t type, if you want to  store  the
378       openvpn files under the /var/lib directory.
379
380
381
382       openvpn_var_log_t
383
384       -  Set  files with the openvpn_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
385       data as openvpn var log data, usually stored under the /var/log  direc‐
386       tory.
387
388
389
390       openvpn_var_run_t
391
392       -  Set  files with the openvpn_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
393       openvpn files under the /run or /var/run directory.
394
395
396       Paths:
397            /var/run/openvpn(/.*)?, /var/run/openvpn.client.*,  /var/run/open‐
398            vpn-server(/.*)?
399
400
401       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
402       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
403       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
404       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
405
406

COMMANDS

408       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
409       mappings.
410
411       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
412       process type is permissive.
413
414       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
415       icy modules.
416
417       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
418
419       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
420
421
422       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
423       icy settings.
