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

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 all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
63       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
66
67
68
69       If  you  want to allow httpd processes to run IPA helper, you must turn
70       on the httpd_run_ipa boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P httpd_run_ipa 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
77       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

84       The SELinux process type ipa_helper_t can manage files labeled with the
85       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
86       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
87
88       ipa_log_t
89
90            /var/log/ipa(/.*)?
91            /var/log/ipareplica-conncheck.log.*
92
93       ipa_var_run_t
94
95            /var/run/ipa(/.*)?
96
97

FILE CONTEXTS

99       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
100       type.
101
102       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
103
104       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
105       SELinux  ipa_helper  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
106       their ipa_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
107
108       The following file types are defined for ipa_helper:
109
110
111
112       ipa_helper_exec_t
113
114       - Set files with the ipa_helper_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
115       an executable to the ipa_helper_t domain.
116
117
118       Paths:
119            /usr/libexec/ipa/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains,
120            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/org.freeipa.server.conncheck,
121            /usr/libexec/ipa/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains
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.
