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
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 cockpit_session policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 cockpit_session processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for cockpit_session:
43 cockpit_session_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a cockpit_session_t can be used to make the
47 process type cockpit_session_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cock‐
54 pit_session policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run cockpit_session with the
56 tightest access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
75 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78 If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
82 on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
83 setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1
85
89 The SELinux process type cockpit_session_t can manage files labeled
90 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
91 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
92 permissions.

174 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
175 type.
176 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
178 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
180 SELinux cockpit_session policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
181 their cockpit_session processes in as secure a method as possible.
182 The following file types are defined for cockpit_session:
184 cockpit_session_exec_t
188 - Set files with the cockpit_session_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
190 sition an executable to the cockpit_session_t domain.
191 Paths:
194 /usr/libexec/cockpit-ssh, /usr/libexec/cockpit-session
195 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
198 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
199 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
200 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
201
204 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
205 mappings.
206 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
208 process type is permissive.
209 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
211 icy modules.
212 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
214 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
217 icy settings.
