6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
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 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43 accountsd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 accountsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 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. Disabled 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

97 The SELinux process type accountsd_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

146 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
147 type.
148 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
150 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
152 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
153 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
154 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
156 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
158 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
159 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
160 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
161 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_unit_file_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
163 tent(/.*)?'
164 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
165 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
167 match multiple files.
168 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
170 accountsd_exec_t
174 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
176 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
177 Paths:
180 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-
181 daemon
182 accountsd_unit_file_t
185 - Set files with the accountsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
187 the files as accountsd unit content.
188 accountsd_var_lib_t
192 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
194 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
195 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
199 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
200 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
201 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
202
205 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
206 mappings.
207 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
209 process type is permissive.
210 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
212 icy modules.
213 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
215 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
218 icy settings.
