NAME

6       mongod_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the mongod pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  mongod  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mongod  processes  execute with the mongod_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 mongod_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  mongod_t  SELinux  type  can be entered via the mongod_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mongod_t domain are the following:
28
29       /usr/bin/mongod,   /usr/bin/mongos,    /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
30       /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
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       mongod  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup their mongod
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for mongod:
43
44       mongod_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a mongod_t can be used to make  the  process
47       type  mongod_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.  mongod
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate the policy and run mongod with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
60       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
61       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
64
65
66
67       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
68       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
75       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
78
79
80
81       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
82       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
85
86
87
88       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
89       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
92
93
94

PORT TYPES

96       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
97
98       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
99       command:
100
101       semanage port -l
102
103
104       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
105       SELinux  mongod  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
106       mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
107
108       The following port types are defined for mongod:
109
110
111       mongod_port_t
112
113
114
115       Default Defined Ports:
116                 tcp 27017-27019,28017-28019
117

MANAGED FILES

119       The SELinux process type mongod_t can manage  files  labeled  with  the
120       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
121       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

177       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
178       type.
179
180       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
181
182       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
183       SELinux mongod policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
184       mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
185
186       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
187
188       SELinux defines the file context types for the mongod, if you wanted to
189       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
190       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
191       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
192
193       semanage fcontext -a -t mongod_tmp_t '/srv/mymongod_content(/.*)?'
194       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymongod_content
195
196       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
197       match multiple files.
198
199       The following file types are defined for mongod:
200
201
202
203       mongod_exec_t
204
205       -  Set  files with the mongod_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
206       executable to the mongod_t domain.
207
208
209       Paths:
210            /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/bin/mongos, /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
211            /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
212
213
214       mongod_initrc_exec_t
215
216       -  Set files with the mongod_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
217       tion an executable to the mongod_initrc_t domain.
218
219
220       Paths:
221            /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongos
222
223
224       mongod_log_t
225
226       - Set files with the mongod_log_t type, if you want to treat  the  data
227       as mongod log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
228
229
230       Paths:
231            /var/log/mongo.*, /var/log/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic.log.*
232
233
234       mongod_tmp_t
235
236       -  Set  files  with  the mongod_tmp_t type, if you want to store mongod
237       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
238
239
240
241       mongod_unit_file_t
242
243       - Set files with the mongod_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat  the
244       files as mongod unit content.
245
246
247       Paths:
248            /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongos.*
249
250
251       mongod_var_lib_t
252
253       -  Set  files  with the mongod_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
254       mongod files under the /var/lib directory.
255
256
257
258       mongod_var_run_t
259
260       - Set files with the mongod_var_run_t type, if you want  to  store  the
261       mongod files under the /run or /var/run directory.
262
263
264       Paths:
265            /var/run/mongo.*, /var/run/aeolus/dbomatic.pid
266
267
268       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
269       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
270       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
271       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
272
273

COMMANDS

275       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
276       mappings.
277
278       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
279       process type is permissive.
280
281       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
282       icy modules.
283
284       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
285
286       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
287
288
289       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
290       icy settings.
