6 ipsec_mgmt_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec_mgmt
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec_mgmt processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The ipsec_mgmt processes execute with the ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep ipsec_mgmt_t
20
24 The ipsec_mgmt_t SELinux type can be entered via the shell_exec_t,
25 ipsec_mgmt_exec_t file types.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_mgmt_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /bin/d?ash, /bin/ksh.*, /bin/zsh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/ksh.*,
31 /usr/bin/zsh.*, /bin/esh, /bin/bash, /bin/fish, /bin/mksh, /bin/sash,
32 /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash, /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /sbin/nologin,
33 /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/sash,

45 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
46 system
47 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
49 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
51 ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
52 ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
53 The following process types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
55 ipsec_mgmt_t
57 Note: semanage permissive -a ipsec_mgmt_t can be used to make the
59 process type ipsec_mgmt_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
60 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
61 still generated.
62
65 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
66 ipsec_mgmt policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
67 allow you to manipulate the policy and run ipsec_mgmt with the tightest
68 access possible.
69 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
73 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
74 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
75 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
81 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
82 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
84 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
88 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
89 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
91 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
95 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
96 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
98 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
102 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
103 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

109 The SELinux process type ipsec_mgmt_t can manage files labeled with the
110 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
111 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

176 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
177 type.
178 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
180 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
182 SELinux ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
183 their ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
184 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186 SELinux defines the file context types for the ipsec_mgmt, if you
188 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
189 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
190 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
191 semanage fcontext -a -t ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t '/srv/myipsec_mgmt_con‐
193 tent(/.*)?'
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_mgmt_content
195 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
197 match multiple files.
198 The following file types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
200 ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t
204 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_devpts_t type, if you want to treat the
206 files as ipsec mgmt devpts data.
207 ipsec_mgmt_exec_t
211 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t type, if you want to transition
213 an executable to the ipsec_mgmt_t domain.
214 Paths:
217 /usr/sbin/ipsec, /usr/sbin/swanctl, /usr/sbin/strongimcv,
218 /usr/sbin/strongswan, /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun, /usr/sbin/charon-
219 systemd, /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutorun,
220 /usr/libexec/ipsec/_plutoload, /usr/libexec/nm-openswan-service,
221 /usr/libexec/nm-libreswan-service
222 ipsec_mgmt_lock_t
225 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
227 files as ipsec mgmt lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
228 Paths:
231 /var/lock/subsys/ipsec, /var/lock/subsys/strongswan
232 ipsec_mgmt_unit_file_t
235 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
237 the files as ipsec mgmt unit content.
238 Paths:
241 /usr/lib/systemd/system/ipsec.*, /usr/lib/systemd/sys‐
242 tem/strongimcv.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/strongswan.*,
243 /usr/lib/systemd/system/strongswan-swanctl.*
244 ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t
247 - Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t type, if you want to store
249 the ipsec mgmt files under the /run or /var/run directory.
250 Paths:
253 /var/run/pluto/ipsec.info, /var/run/pluto/ipsec_setup.pid
254 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
257 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
258 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
259 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
260
263 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
264 mappings.
265 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
267 process type is permissive.
268 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
270 icy modules.
271 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
273 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
276 icy settings.
