6 puppetmaster_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the puppet‐
7 master processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the puppetmaster processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The puppetmaster processes execute with the puppetmaster_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 puppetmaster_t
20
21
22
24 The puppetmaster_t SELinux type can be entered via the puppetmas‐
25 ter_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the puppetmaster_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/puppetmasterd, /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd, /usr/bin/start-puppet-
31 master
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 puppetmaster policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pup‐
41 petmaster processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for puppetmaster:
44
45 puppetmaster_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a puppetmaster_t can be used to make the
48 process type puppetmaster_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. puppet‐
55 master policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run puppetmaster with the tightest
57 access possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to allow Puppet master to use connect to MySQL and Post‐
62 greSQL database, you must turn on the puppetmaster_use_db boolean. Dis‐
63 abled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P puppetmaster_use_db 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
70 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
71 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
78 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
85 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
92 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
95
96
97
98 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
99 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
102
103
104
106 The SELinux process type puppetmaster_t can manage files labeled with
107 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
108 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
109 missions.

167 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
168 type.
169
170 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
171
172 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
173 SELinux puppetmaster policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
174 their puppetmaster processes in as secure a method as possible.
175
176 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
177
178 SELinux defines the file context types for the puppetmaster, if you
179 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
180 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
181 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
182
183 semanage fcontext -a -t puppetmaster_tmp_t '/srv/mypuppetmaster_con‐
184 tent(/.*)?'
185 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypuppetmaster_content
186
187 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
188 match multiple files.
189
190 The following file types are defined for puppetmaster:
191
192
193
194 puppetmaster_exec_t
195
196 - Set files with the puppetmaster_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
197 tion an executable to the puppetmaster_t domain.
198
199
200 Paths:
201 /usr/bin/puppetmasterd, /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd, /usr/bin/start-
202 puppet-master
203
204
205 puppetmaster_initrc_exec_t
206
207 - Set files with the puppetmaster_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to
208 transition an executable to the puppetmaster_initrc_t domain.
209
210
211
212 puppetmaster_tmp_t
213
214 - Set files with the puppetmaster_tmp_t type, if you want to store pup‐
215 petmaster temporary files in the /tmp directories.
216
217
218
219 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
220 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
221 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
222 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
223
224
226 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
227 mappings.
228
229 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
230 process type is permissive.
231
232 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
233 icy modules.
234
235 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
236
237
238 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
239 icy settings.
