6 puppetca_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the puppetca pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the puppetca processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The puppetca processes execute with the puppetca_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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep puppetca_t
20
21
22
24 The puppetca_t SELinux type can be entered via the puppetca_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the puppetca_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/puppetca, /usr/sbin/puppetca, /usr/bin/start-puppet-ca
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 puppetca policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their puppetca
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for puppetca:
43
44 puppetca_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a puppetca_t can be used to make the process
47 type puppetca_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pup‐
54 petca policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run puppetca with the tightest access
56 possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
68 The SELinux process type puppetca_t can manage files labeled with the
69 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
70 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72 puppet_var_lib_t
73
74 /var/lib/puppet(/.*)?
75
76 security_t
77
78 /selinux
79
80
82 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
83 type.
84
85 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
86
87 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
88 SELinux puppetca policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
89 puppetca processes in as secure a method as possible.
90
91 The following file types are defined for puppetca:
92
93
94
95 puppetca_exec_t
96
97 - Set files with the puppetca_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
98 executable to the puppetca_t domain.
99
100
101 Paths:
102 /usr/bin/puppetca, /usr/sbin/puppetca, /usr/bin/start-puppet-ca
103
104
105 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
106 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
107 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
108 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
109
110
112 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
113 mappings.
114
115 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
116 process type is permissive.
117
118 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
119 icy modules.
120
121 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
122
123
124 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
125 icy settings.
