NAME

6       puppetca_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the puppetca pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

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

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       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

BOOLEANS

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

MANAGED FILES

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

FILE CONTEXTS

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.

110

COMMANDS

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.
