NAME

6       ipa_helper_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipa_helper
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipa_helper processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  ipa_helper  processes  execute with the ipa_helper_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep ipa_helper_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  ipa_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipa_helper_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the ipa_helper_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/libexec/ipa/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains,
31       /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org.freeipa.server.conncheck,
32       /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains
33

PROCESS TYPES

35       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36       system
37
38       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
41       ipa_helper  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to setup their
42       ipa_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44       The following process types are defined for ipa_helper:
45
46       ipa_helper_t
47
48       Note: semanage permissive -a ipa_helper_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
49       process  type  ipa_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
51       still generated.
52
53

BOOLEANS

55       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
56       ipa_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans  that
57       allow you to manipulate the policy and run ipa_helper with the tightest
58       access possible.
59
60
61
62       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
63       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
64       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
67
68
69
70       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
71       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
72
73       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
74
75
76
77       If  you  want to allow httpd processes to run IPA helper, you must turn
78       on the httpd_run_ipa boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80       setsebool -P httpd_run_ipa 1
81
82
83
84       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
85       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
88
89
90
91       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
92       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
99       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
102

104

MANAGED FILES

106       The SELinux process type ipa_helper_t can manage files labeled with the
107       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
108       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
109
110       ipa_log_t
111
112            /var/log/ipa(/.*)?
113            /var/log/ipareplica-conncheck.log.*
114
115       ipa_var_run_t
116
117            /var/run/ipa(/.*)?
118
119       sssd_var_lib_t
120
121            /var/lib/sss(/.*)?
122
123

FILE CONTEXTS

125       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
126       type.
127
128       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
129
130       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
131       SELinux  ipa_helper  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
132       their ipa_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
133
134       The following file types are defined for ipa_helper:
135
136
137
138       ipa_helper_exec_t
139
140       - Set files with the ipa_helper_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
141       an executable to the ipa_helper_t domain.
142
143
144       Paths:
145            /usr/libexec/ipa/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains,
146            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org.freeipa.server.conncheck,
147            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains
148
149
150       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
151       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
152       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
153       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
154
155

COMMANDS

157       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
158       mappings.
159
160       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
161       process type is permissive.
162
163       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
164       icy modules.
165
166       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
167
168
169       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
170       icy settings.
