NAME

6       policykit_resolve_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pol‐
7       icykit_resolve processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  policykit_resolve  processes  via
11       flexible mandatory access control.
12
13       The  policykit_resolve  processes  execute with the policykit_resolve_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep policykit_resolve_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  policykit_resolve_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered via the poli‐
25       cykit_resolve_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_resolve_t domain are the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*,    /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
31       resolve-exe-helper.*
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41       policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for policykit_resolve:
44
45       policykit_resolve_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a policykit_resolve_t can be used to make
48       the process type policykit_resolve_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny
49       access  to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50       sages are still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   poli‐
55       cykit_resolve  policy  is  extremely  flexible and has several booleans
56       that allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_resolve  with
57       the tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
62       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
63       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
77       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
84       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
91       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
94

FILE CONTEXTS

98       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
99       type.
100
101       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
102
103       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
104       SELinux  policykit_resolve  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to
105       setup their policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possi‐
106       ble.
107
108       The following file types are defined for policykit_resolve:
109
110
111
112       policykit_resolve_exec_t
113
114       -  Set  files  with  the  policykit_resolve_exec_t type, if you want to
115       transition an executable to the policykit_resolve_t domain.
116
117
118       Paths:
119            /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*,           /usr/lib/poli‐
120            cykit/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*
121
122
123       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
124       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
125       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
126       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
127
128

COMMANDS

130       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
131       mappings.
132
133       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
134       process type is permissive.
135
136       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
137       icy modules.
138
139       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
140
141
142       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
143       icy settings.
