6 cyrus_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cyrus processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cyrus processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The cyrus processes execute with the cyrus_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep cyrus_t
19
20
21
23 The cyrus_t SELinux type can be entered via the cyrus_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the cyrus_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/master, /usr/lib/cyrus-
28 imapd/cyrus-master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
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 cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cyrus pro‐
38 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40 The following process types are defined for cyrus:
41
42 cyrus_t
43
44 Note: semanage permissive -a cyrus_t can be used to make the process
45 type cyrus_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. cyrus
52 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53 manipulate the policy and run cyrus with the tightest access possible.
54
55
56
57 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
58 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
59 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
62
63
64
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
66 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
69
70
71
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
73 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
74
75 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
76
77
78
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
80 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
83
84
85
86 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
87 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
88
89 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
90
91
92
94 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
95
96 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
97 command:
98
99 semanage port -l
100
101
102 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
103 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
104 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
105
106 The following port types are defined for cyrus:
107
108
109 cyrus_imapd_port_t
110
111
112
113 Default Defined Ports:
114 tcp 2005
115
117 The SELinux process type cyrus_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
118 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
119 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

187 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
188 type.
189
190 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
191
192 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
193 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
194 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
195
196 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
197
198 SELinux defines the file context types for the cyrus, if you wanted to
199 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
200 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
201 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
202
203 semanage fcontext -a -t cyrus_var_run_t '/srv/mycyrus_content(/.*)?'
204 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycyrus_content
205
206 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
207 match multiple files.
208
209 The following file types are defined for cyrus:
210
211
212
213 cyrus_exec_t
214
215 - Set files with the cyrus_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
216 executable to the cyrus_t domain.
217
218
219 Paths:
220 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/master,
221 /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-
222 master
223
224
225 cyrus_initrc_exec_t
226
227 - Set files with the cyrus_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
228 tion an executable to the cyrus_initrc_t domain.
229
230
231
232 cyrus_keytab_t
233
234 - Set files with the cyrus_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
235 files as kerberos keytab files.
236
237
238
239 cyrus_tmp_t
240
241 - Set files with the cyrus_tmp_t type, if you want to store cyrus tem‐
242 porary files in the /tmp directories.
243
244
245
246 cyrus_var_lib_t
247
248 - Set files with the cyrus_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
249 cyrus files under the /var/lib directory.
250
251
252 Paths:
253 /var/imap(/.*)?, /var/lib/imap(/.*)?
254
255
256 cyrus_var_run_t
257
258 - Set files with the cyrus_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
259 cyrus files under the /run or /var/run directory.
260
261
262
263 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
264 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
265 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
266 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
267
268
270 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
271 mappings.
272
273 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
274 process type is permissive.
275
276 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
277 icy modules.
278
279 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
280
281 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
282
283
284 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
285 icy settings.
