6 wpa_cli_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the wpa_cli pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the wpa_cli processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The wpa_cli processes execute with the wpa_cli_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep wpa_cli_t
20
21
22
24 The wpa_cli_t SELinux type can be entered via the wpa_cli_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the wpa_cli_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/wpa_cli, /usr/sbin/wpa_cli
31
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 wpa_cli policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their wpa_cli
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for wpa_cli:
43
44 wpa_cli_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a wpa_cli_t can be used to make the process
47 type wpa_cli_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
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. wpa_cli
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run wpa_cli with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
64
65
66
68 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
69 type.
70
71 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
72
73 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
74 SELinux wpa_cli policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
75 wpa_cli processes in as secure a method as possible.
76
77 The following file types are defined for wpa_cli:
78
79
80
81 wpa_cli_exec_t
82
83 - Set files with the wpa_cli_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
84 executable to the wpa_cli_t domain.
85
86
87 Paths:
88 /usr/bin/wpa_cli, /usr/sbin/wpa_cli
89
90
91 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
92 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
93 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
94 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
95
96
98 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
99 mappings.
100
101 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
102 process type is permissive.
103
104 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
105 icy modules.
106
107 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
108
109
110 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
111 icy settings.
