6 ceph_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ceph processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ceph processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The ceph processes execute with the ceph_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep ceph_t
19
20
21
23 The ceph_t SELinux type can be entered via the ceph_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the ceph_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/radosgw, /usr/bin/ceph-mon, /usr/bin/ceph-mds, /usr/bin/ceph-
28 osd
29
31 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
32 system
33
34 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
35
36 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
37 ceph policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ceph pro‐
38 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40 The following process types are defined for ceph:
41
42 ceph_t
43
44 Note: semanage permissive -a ceph_t can be used to make the process
45 type ceph_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
46 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
47 ated.
48
49
51 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ceph
52 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53 manipulate the policy and run ceph with the tightest access possible.

166 The SELinux process type ceph_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
167 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
168 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

257 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
258 type.
259
260 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
261
262 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
263 SELinux ceph policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ceph
264 processes in as secure a method as possible.
265
266 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
267
268 SELinux defines the file context types for the ceph, if you wanted to
269 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
270 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
271 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
272
273 semanage fcontext -a -t ceph_exec_t '/srv/ceph/content(/.*)?'
274 restorecon -R -v /srv/myceph_content
275
276 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
277 match multiple files.
278
279 The following file types are defined for ceph:
280
281
282
283 ceph_exec_t
284
285 - Set files with the ceph_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
286 executable to the ceph_t domain.
287
288
289 Paths:
290 /usr/bin/radosgw, /usr/bin/ceph-mon, /usr/bin/ceph-mds,
291 /usr/bin/ceph-osd
292
293
294 ceph_initrc_exec_t
295
296 - Set files with the ceph_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
297 an executable to the ceph_initrc_t domain.
298
299
300 Paths:
301 /etc/rc.d/init.d/ceph, /etc/rc.d/init.d/radosgw
302
303
304 ceph_log_t
305
306 - Set files with the ceph_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
307 ceph log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
308
309
310 Paths:
311 /var/log/ceph(/.*)?, /var/log/radosgw(/.*)?
312
313
314 ceph_var_lib_t
315
316 - Set files with the ceph_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the ceph
317 files under the /var/lib directory.
318
319
320
321 ceph_var_run_t
322
323 - Set files with the ceph_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ceph
324 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
325
326
327
328 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
329 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
330 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
331 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
332
333
335 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
336 mappings.
337
338 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
339 process type is permissive.
340
341 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
342 icy modules.
343
344 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
345
346
347 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
348 icy settings.
