6 policykit_auth_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the poli‐
7 cykit_auth processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_auth processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The policykit_auth processes execute with the policykit_auth_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 policykit_auth_t
20
21
22
24 The policykit_auth_t SELinux type can be entered via the poli‐
25 cykit_auth_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_auth_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization, /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
31 helper, /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1, /usr/lib/poli‐
32 cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
33 helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
34
36 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
37 system
38
39 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
40
41 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
42 policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
43 policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
44
45 The following process types are defined for policykit_auth:
46
47 policykit_auth_t
48
49 Note: semanage permissive -a policykit_auth_t can be used to make the
50 process type policykit_auth_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
51 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
52 still generated.
53
54
56 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. poli‐
57 cykit_auth policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
58 allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_auth with the
59 tightest access possible.
60
61
62
63 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
64 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
65 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
72 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
79 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
82
83
84
85 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
86 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
93 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

100 The SELinux process type policykit_auth_t can manage files labeled with
101 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
102 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
103 missions.

195 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
196 type.
197
198 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
199
200 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
201 SELinux policykit_auth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
202 their policykit_auth processes in as secure a method as possible.
203
204 The following file types are defined for policykit_auth:
205
206
207
208 policykit_auth_exec_t
209
210 - Set files with the policykit_auth_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
211 tion an executable to the policykit_auth_t domain.
212
213
214 Paths:
215 /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization, /usr/libexec/polkit-read-auth-
216 helper, /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1, /usr/lib/poli‐
217 cykit/polkit-read-auth-helper, /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-
218 helper-1, /usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
219
220
221 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
222 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
223 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
224 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
225
226
228 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
229 mappings.
230
231 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
232 process type is permissive.
233
234 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
235 icy modules.
236
237 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
238
239
240 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
241 icy settings.
