6 postfix_map_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_map processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_map processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_map processes execute with the postfix_map_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep postfix_map_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_map_t SELinux type can be entered via the post‐
25 fix_map_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_map_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/postmap
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 postfix_map policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their post‐
40 fix_map processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_map:
43
44 postfix_map_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_map_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_map_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. post‐
54 fix_map policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_map with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
59
60 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
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 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
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 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
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type postfix_map_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.
101
102 mailman_data_t
103
104 /etc/mailman.*
105 /var/lib/mailman(/.*)?
106 /var/spool/mailman.*
107
108 postfix_etc_t
109
110 /etc/postfix.*
111
112 postfix_map_tmp_t
113
114
115
117 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
118 type.
119
120 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
121
122 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
123 SELinux postfix_map policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
124 their postfix_map processes in as secure a method as possible.
125
126 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
127
128 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_map, if you
129 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
130 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
131 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
132
133 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_map_tmp_t '/srv/mypostfix_map_con‐
134 tent(/.*)?'
135 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_map_content
136
137 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
138 match multiple files.
139
140 The following file types are defined for postfix_map:
141
142
143
144 postfix_map_exec_t
145
146 - Set files with the postfix_map_exec_t type, if you want to transition
147 an executable to the postfix_map_t domain.
148
149
150
151 postfix_map_tmp_t
152
153 - Set files with the postfix_map_tmp_t type, if you want to store post‐
154 fix map temporary files in the /tmp directories.
155
156
157
158 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
159 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
160 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
161 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
162
163
165 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
166 mappings.
167
168 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
169 process type is permissive.
170
171 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
172 icy modules.
173
174 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
175
176
177 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
178 icy settings.
