6 ipsec_mgmt_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec_mgmt
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec_mgmt processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The ipsec_mgmt processes execute with the ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep ipsec_mgmt_t
20
24 The ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t,
25 shell_exec_t file types.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_mgmt_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/sbin/ipsec, /usr/sbin/swanctl, /usr/sbin/strongimcv,
31 /usr/sbin/strongswan, /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun, /usr/lib/ipsec/_plu‐
32 toload, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutorun, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutoload,

45 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
46 system
47 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
49 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
51 ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
52 ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
53 The following process types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
55 ipsec_mgmt_t
57 Note: semanage permissive -a ipsec_mgmt_t can be used to make the
59 process type ipsec_mgmt_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
60 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
61 still generated.
62
65 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
66 ipsec_mgmt policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
67 allow you to manipulate the policy and run ipsec_mgmt with the tightest
68 access possible.
69 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
73 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
74 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
75 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
81 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
82 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
84 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
88 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
89 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
91 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
95 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
96 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
98 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
102 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
103 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

109 The SELinux process type ipsec_mgmt_t can manage files labeled with the
110 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
111 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

175 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
176 type.
177 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
179 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
181 SELinux ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
182 their ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
183 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
185 SELinux defines the file context types for the ipsec_mgmt, if you
187 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
188 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
189 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
190 semanage fcontext -a -t ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t '/srv/myipsec_mgmt_con‐
192 tent(/.*)?'
193 restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_mgmt_content
194 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
196 match multiple files.
197 The following file types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
199 ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t
203 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t type, if you want to treat the
205 files as ipsec mgmt devpts data.
206 ipsec_mgmt_exec_t
210 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t type, if you want to transition
212 an executable to the ipsec_mgmt_t domain.
213 Paths:
216 /usr/sbin/ipsec, /usr/sbin/swanctl, /usr/sbin/strongimcv,
217 /usr/sbin/strongswan, /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun,
218 /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutorun,
219 /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/nm-openswan-service,
220 /usr/libexec/nm-libreswan-service
221 ipsec_mgmt_lock_t
224 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
226 files as ipsec mgmt lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
227 Paths:
230 /var/lock/subsys/ipsec, /var/lock/subsys/strongswan
231 ipsec_mgmt_unit_file_t
234 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
236 the files as ipsec mgmt unit content.
237 Paths:
240 /usr/lib/systemd/system/ipsec.*, /usr/lib/systemd/sys‐
241 tem/strongimcv.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/strongswan.*,
242 /usr/lib/systemd/system/strongswan-swanctl.*
243 ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t
246 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t type, if you want to store
248 the ipsec mgmt files under the /run or /var/run directory.
249 Paths:
252 /var/run/pluto/ipsec.info, /var/run/pluto/ipsec_setup.pid
253 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
256 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
257 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
258 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
259
262 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
263 mappings.
264 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
266 process type is permissive.
267 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
269 icy modules.
270 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
272 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
275 icy settings.
