6 smoltclient_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the smolt‐
7 client processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the smoltclient processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The smoltclient processes execute with the smoltclient_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 smoltclient_t
20
21
22
24 The smoltclient_t SELinux type can be entered via the smolt‐
25 client_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the smoltclient_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/share/smolt/client/sendProfile.py
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 smoltclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 smoltclient processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for smoltclient:
43
44 smoltclient_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a smoltclient_t can be used to make the
47 process type smoltclient_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. smolt‐
54 client policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run smoltclient with the tightest
56 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 smoltclient_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 smoltclient_tmp_t
103
104
105
107 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
108 type.
109
110 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
111
112 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
113 SELinux smoltclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
114 their smoltclient processes in as secure a method as possible.
115
116 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
117
118 SELinux defines the file context types for the smoltclient, if you
119 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
120 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
121 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
122
123 semanage fcontext -a -t smoltclient_tmp_t '/srv/mysmoltclient_con‐
124 tent(/.*)?'
125 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysmoltclient_content
126
127 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
128 match multiple files.
129
130 The following file types are defined for smoltclient:
131
132
133
134 smoltclient_exec_t
135
136 - Set files with the smoltclient_exec_t type, if you want to transition
137 an executable to the smoltclient_t domain.
138
139
140
141 smoltclient_tmp_t
142
143 - Set files with the smoltclient_tmp_t type, if you want to store
144 smoltclient temporary files in the /tmp directories.
145
146
147
148 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
149 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
150 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
151 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
152
153
155 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
156 mappings.
157
158 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
159 process type is permissive.
160
161 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
162 icy modules.
163
164 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
165
166
167 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
168 icy settings.
