NAME

6       winbind_helper_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the win‐
7       bind_helper processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the winbind_helper processes via flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       The  winbind_helper processes execute with the winbind_helper_t SELinux
14       type. You can check if you have these processes  running  by  executing
15       the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep winbind_helper_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   winbind_helper_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  win‐
25       bind_helper_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the winbind_helper_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/bin/ntlm_auth
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       winbind_helper  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for winbind_helper:
43
44       winbind_helper_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a winbind_helper_t can be used to  make  the
47       process  type winbind_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  win‐
54       bind_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the  policy and run winbind_helper with the
56       tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       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
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       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
71       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75       If you want to allow Apache to use mod_auth_ntlm_winbind, you must turn
76       on the httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
83       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
86
87
88
89       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
90       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
93
94
95
96       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
97       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

FILE CONTEXTS

104       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
105       type.
106
107       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
108
109       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
110       SELinux  winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
111       their winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
112
113       The following file types are defined for winbind_helper:
114
115
116
117       winbind_helper_exec_t
118
119       - Set files with the winbind_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
120       tion an executable to the winbind_helper_t domain.
121
122
123
124       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
125       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
126       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
127       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
128
129

COMMANDS

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