6 winbind_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the win‐
7 bind_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the winbind_helper processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The winbind_helper processes execute with the winbind_helper_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 winbind_helper_t
20
21
22
24 The winbind_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the win‐
25 bind_helper_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the winbind_helper_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/ntlm_auth
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 winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for winbind_helper:
43
44 winbind_helper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a winbind_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type winbind_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to 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. win‐
54 bind_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run winbind_helper with the
56 tightest 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 Apache to use mod_auth_ntlm_winbind, you must turn
76 on the httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
83 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
90 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
97 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
100
101
102
104 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
105 type.
106
107 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
108
109 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
110 SELinux winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
111 their winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
112
113 The following file types are defined for winbind_helper:
114
115
116
117 winbind_helper_exec_t
118
119 - Set files with the winbind_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
120 tion an executable to the winbind_helper_t domain.
121
122
123
124 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
125 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
126 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
127 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
128
129
131 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
132 mappings.
133
134 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
135 process type is permissive.
136
137 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
138 icy modules.
139
140 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
141
142
143 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
144 icy settings.
