6 policykit_resolve_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pol‐
7 icykit_resolve processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_resolve processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12 The policykit_resolve processes execute with the policykit_resolve_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 policykit_resolve_t
20
24 The policykit_resolve_t SELinux type can be entered via the poli‐
25 cykit_resolve_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_resolve_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*, /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
31 resolve-exe-helper.*
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for policykit_resolve:
44 policykit_resolve_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a policykit_resolve_t can be used to make
48 the process type policykit_resolve_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
49 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50 sages are still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. poli‐
55 cykit_resolve policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_resolve with
57 the tightest access possible.
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
69 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72
76 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
77 type.
78 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
80 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
82 SELinux policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to
83 setup their policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possi‐
84 ble.
85 The following file types are defined for policykit_resolve:
87 policykit_resolve_exec_t
91 - Set files with the policykit_resolve_exec_t type, if you want to
93 transition an executable to the policykit_resolve_t domain.
94 Paths:
97 /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*, /usr/lib/poli‐
98 cykit/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*
99 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
102 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
103 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
104 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
105
108 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
109 mappings.
110 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
112 process type is permissive.
113 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
115 icy modules.
116 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
118 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
121 icy settings.
