6 slapd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the slapd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the slapd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The slapd processes execute with the slapd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep slapd_t
19
20
21
23 The slapd_t SELinux type can be entered via the slapd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the slapd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/lib/slapd, /usr/sbin/slapd, /usr/lib/openldap/slapd
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 slapd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their slapd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for slapd:
40
41 slapd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a slapd_t can be used to make the process
44 type slapd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. slapd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run slapd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
57 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
58 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
72 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
79 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
82
83
84
85 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
86 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
89
90
91
93 The SELinux process type slapd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
94 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
95 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

190 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
191 type.
192
193 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
194
195 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
196 SELinux slapd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
197 slapd processes in as secure a method as possible.
198
199 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
200
201
202 slapd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
203 under the /var/lib/ldap directory. If you would like to store the data
204 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
205 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
206 dirctory you would execute the following command:
207
208 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/ldap /srv/ldap
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/ldap
210
211 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
212
213 SELinux defines the file context types for the slapd, if you wanted to
214 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
215 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
216 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
217
218 semanage fcontext -a -t slapd_var_run_t '/srv/myslapd_content(/.*)?'
219 restorecon -R -v /srv/myslapd_content
220
221 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
222 match multiple files.
223
224 The following file types are defined for slapd:
225
226

262
263
264 slapd_initrc_exec_t
265
266 - Set files with the slapd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
267 tion an executable to the slapd_initrc_t domain.
268
269
270
271 slapd_keytab_t
272
273 - Set files with the slapd_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the

334 /var/run/slapd.args
335
336
337 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
338 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
339 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
340 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
341
342
344 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
345 mappings.
346
347 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
348 process type is permissive.
349
350 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
351 icy modules.
352
353 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
354
355
356 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
357 icy settings.
