NAME

6       couchdb_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the couchdb pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  couchdb  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  couchdb processes execute with the couchdb_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 couchdb_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  couchdb_t  SELinux type can be entered via the couchdb_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the couchdb_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/libexec/couchdb
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       couchdb  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their couchdb
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for couchdb:
43
44       couchdb_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a couchdb_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  couchdb_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.  couchdb
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run couchdb 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

PORT TYPES

68       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
69
70       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
71       command:
72
73       semanage port -l
74
75
76       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
77       SELinux  couchdb  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
78       couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
79
80       The following port types are defined for couchdb:
81
82
83       couchdb_port_t
84
85
86
87       Default Defined Ports:
88                 tcp 5984,6984
89                 udp 5984,6984
90

MANAGED FILES

92       The SELinux process type couchdb_t can manage files  labeled  with  the
93       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
94       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

145       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
146       type.
147
148       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
149
150       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
151       SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
152       couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
153
154       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
155
156       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the couchdb, if you wanted
157       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
158       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
159       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
160
161       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t   couchdb_unit_file_t   '/srv/mycouchdb_con‐
162       tent(/.*)?'
163       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycouchdb_content
164
165       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
166       match multiple files.
167
168       The following file types are defined for couchdb:
169
170
171
172       couchdb_conf_t
173
174       - Set files with the couchdb_conf_t type, if  you  want  to  treat  the
175       files  as  couchdb  configuration  data,  usually stored under the /etc
176       directory.
177
178
179
180       couchdb_exec_t
181
182       - Set files with the couchdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
183       executable to the couchdb_t domain.
184
185
186
187       couchdb_initrc_exec_t
188
189       - Set files with the couchdb_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
190       tion an executable to the couchdb_initrc_t domain.
191
192
193
194       couchdb_log_t
195
196       - Set files with the couchdb_log_t type, if you want to treat the  data
197       as couchdb log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
198
199
200
201       couchdb_tmp_t
202
203       -  Set  files with the couchdb_tmp_t type, if you want to store couchdb
204       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
205
206
207
208       couchdb_unit_file_t
209
210       - Set files with the couchdb_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
211       files as couchdb unit content.
212
213
214
215       couchdb_var_lib_t
216
217       -  Set  files with the couchdb_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
218       couchdb files under the /var/lib directory.
219
220
221
222       couchdb_var_run_t
223
224       - Set files with the couchdb_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
225       couchdb files under the /run or /var/run directory.
226
227
228
229       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
230       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
231       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
232       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
233
234

COMMANDS

236       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
237       mappings.
238
239       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
240       process type is permissive.
241
242       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
243       icy modules.
244
245       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
246
247       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
248
249
250       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
251       icy settings.
