6 cockpit_session_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cock‐
7 pit_session processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cockpit_session processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12 The cockpit_session processes execute with the cockpit_session_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep cockpit_session_t
20
24 The cockpit_session_t SELinux type can be entered via the cockpit_ses‐
25 sion_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the cockpit_session_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/cockpit-ssh, /usr/libexec/cockpit-session,
31 /usr/libexec/cockpit-cert-session
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 cockpit_session policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 cockpit_session processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for cockpit_session:
44 cockpit_session_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a cockpit_session_t can be used to make the
48 process type cockpit_session_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cock‐
55 pit_session policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run cockpit_session with the
57 tightest access possible.
58 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
66 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
77 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
80 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
84 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
87 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 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
94 If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
98 on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
99 setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1

105 The SELinux process type cockpit_session_t can manage files labeled
106 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
107 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
108 permissions.

233 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
234 type.
235 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
237 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
239 SELinux cockpit_session policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
240 their cockpit_session processes in as secure a method as possible.
241 The following file types are defined for cockpit_session:
243 cockpit_session_exec_t
247 - Set files with the cockpit_session_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
249 sition an executable to the cockpit_session_t domain.
250 Paths:
253 /usr/libexec/cockpit-ssh, /usr/libexec/cockpit-session,
254 /usr/libexec/cockpit-cert-session
255 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
258 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
259 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
260 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
261
264 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
265 mappings.
266 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
268 process type is permissive.
269 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
271 icy modules.
272 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
274 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
277 icy settings.
