6 couchdb_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the couchdb pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the couchdb processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The couchdb processes execute with the couchdb_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep couchdb_t
20
24 The couchdb_t SELinux type can be entered via the couchdb_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the couchdb_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/couchdb
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their couchdb
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for couchdb:
43 couchdb_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a couchdb_t can be used to make the process
47 type couchdb_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. couchdb
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run couchdb with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
97 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
98 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
100 command:
101 semanage port -l
103 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
106 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
107 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
108 The following port types are defined for couchdb:
110 couchdb_port_t
113 Default Defined Ports:
117 tcp 5984,6984
118 udp 5984,6984
119
121 The SELinux process type couchdb_t can manage files labeled with the
122 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
123 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
124 cluster_conf_t
126 /etc/cluster(/.*)?
128 cluster_var_lib_t
130 /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?

177 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
178 type.
179 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
181 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
183 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
184 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
185 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
187 SELinux defines the file context types for the couchdb, if you wanted
189 to 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 semanage fcontext -a -t couchdb_unit_file_t '/srv/mycouchdb_con‐
194 tent(/.*)?'
195 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycouchdb_content
196 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
198 match multiple files.
199 The following file types are defined for couchdb:
201 couchdb_conf_t
205 - Set files with the couchdb_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
207 files as couchdb configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
208 directory.
209 couchdb_exec_t
213 - Set files with the couchdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
215 executable to the couchdb_t domain.
216 couchdb_initrc_exec_t
220 - Set files with the couchdb_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
222 tion an executable to the couchdb_initrc_t domain.
223 couchdb_log_t
227 - Set files with the couchdb_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
229 as couchdb log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
230 couchdb_tmp_t
234 - Set files with the couchdb_tmp_t type, if you want to store couchdb
236 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
237 couchdb_unit_file_t
241 - Set files with the couchdb_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
243 files as couchdb unit content.
244 couchdb_var_lib_t
248 - Set files with the couchdb_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
250 couchdb files under the /var/lib directory.
251 couchdb_var_run_t
255 - Set files with the couchdb_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
257 couchdb files under the /run or /var/run directory.
258 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
262 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
263 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
264 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
265
268 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
269 mappings.
270 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
272 process type is permissive.
273 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
275 icy modules.
276 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
278 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
280 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
283 icy settings.
