6 telepathy_idle_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepa‐
7 thy_idle processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_idle processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The telepathy_idle processes execute with the telepathy_idle_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep telepathy_idle_t
20
24 The telepathy_idle_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepa‐
25 thy_idle_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_idle_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/telepathy-idle
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 telepathy_idle policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 telepathy_idle processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for telepathy_idle:
43 telepathy_idle_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_idle_t can be used to make the
47 process type telepathy_idle_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. telepa‐
54 thy_idle policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_idle with the
56 tightest access possible.
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 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
97 any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports
98 boolean. Disabled by default.
99 setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1
101 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
105 any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_con‐
106 nect_generic_network_ports boolean. Enabled by default.
107 setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1
109
113 The SELinux process type telepathy_idle_t can manage files labeled with
114 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
115 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
116 missions.
117 cache_home_t
119 /root/.cache(/.*)?
121 /home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?
122 /home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?
123
126 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
127 type.
128 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
130 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
132 SELinux telepathy_idle policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
133 their telepathy_idle processes in as secure a method as possible.
134 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
136 SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_idle, if you
138 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
139 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
140 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
141 semanage fcontext -a -t telepathy_idle_tmp_t '/srv/mytelepa‐
143 thy_idle_content(/.*)?'
144 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_idle_content
145 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
147 match multiple files.
148 The following file types are defined for telepathy_idle:
150 telepathy_idle_exec_t
154 - Set files with the telepathy_idle_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
156 tion an executable to the telepathy_idle_t domain.
157 telepathy_idle_tmp_t
161 - Set files with the telepathy_idle_tmp_t type, if you want to store
163 telepathy idle temporary files in the /tmp directories.
164 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
168 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
169 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
170 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
171
174 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
175 mappings.
176 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
178 process type is permissive.
179 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
181 icy modules.
182 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
184 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
187 icy settings.
