6 sssd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sssd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sssd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The sssd processes execute with the sssd_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep sssd_t
19
20
21
23 The sssd_t SELinux type can be entered via the sssd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the sssd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/sssd, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_ifp, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_kcm,
28 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_nss, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pac,
29 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_ssh,
30 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_sudo, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_autofs,
31 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_secrets
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 sssd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sssd pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for sssd:
44
45 sssd_t, sssd_selinux_manager_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a sssd_t can be used to make the process
48 type sssd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sssd
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run sssd with the tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow sssd read, view, and write access to kernel keys
61 with kernel_t type, you must turn on the sssd_access_kernel_keys bool‐
62 ean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P sssd_access_kernel_keys 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow sssd connect to all unreserved ports, you must
69 turn on the sssd_connect_all_unreserved_ports boolean. Disabled by
70 default.
71
72 setsebool -P sssd_connect_all_unreserved_ports 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
83 If you want to allow Apache to communicate with sssd service via dbus,
84 you must turn on the httpd_dbus_sssd boolean. Disabled by default.
85
86 setsebool -P httpd_dbus_sssd 1
87
88
89
90 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
91 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
98 The SELinux process type sssd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
99 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
100 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

175 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
176 type.
177
178 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
179

182 processes in as secure a method as possible.
183
184 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
185
186
187 sssd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
188 under the /var/lib/sss directory. If you would like to store the data
189 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
190 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
191 directory you would execute the following command:
192
193 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/sss /srv/sss
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/sss
195
196 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
197
198 SELinux defines the file context types for the sssd, if you wanted to
199 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
200 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
201 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
202
203 semanage fcontext -a -t sssd_unit_file_t '/srv/mysssd_content(/.*)?'
204 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysssd_content
205
206 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
207 match multiple files.
208
209 The following file types are defined for sssd:
210
211
212
213 sssd_conf_t
214
215 - Set files with the sssd_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
216 as sssd configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
217
218
219
220 sssd_exec_t
221
222 - Set files with the sssd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
223 executable to the sssd_t domain.
224
225
226 Paths:
227 /usr/sbin/sssd, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_ifp,
228 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_kcm, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_nss,
229 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pac, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam,
230 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_ssh, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_sudo,
231 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_autofs, /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_secrets
232
233
234 sssd_initrc_exec_t
235
236 - Set files with the sssd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
237 an executable to the sssd_initrc_t domain.
238
239
240
241 sssd_public_t
242
243 - Set files with the sssd_public_t type, if you want to treat the files
244 as sssd public data.
245
246
247 Paths:
248 /var/lib/sss/mc(/.*)?, /var/lib/sss/pubconf(/.*)?
249
250
251 sssd_selinux_manager_exec_t
252
253 - Set files with the sssd_selinux_manager_exec_t type, if you want to
254 transition an executable to the sssd_selinux_manager_t domain.
255
256
257
258 sssd_unit_file_t
259
260 - Set files with the sssd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
261 files as sssd unit content.
262
263
264
265 sssd_var_lib_t
266
267 - Set files with the sssd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the sssd
268 files under the /var/lib directory.
269
270
271
272 sssd_var_log_t
273
274 - Set files with the sssd_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
275 as sssd var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
276
277
278
279 sssd_var_run_t
280
281 - Set files with the sssd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the sssd
282 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
283
284
285 Paths:
286 /var/run/sssd.pid, /var/run/secrets.socket,
287 /var/run/.heim_org.h5l.kcm-socket
288
289
290 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
291 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
292 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
293 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
294
295
297 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
298 mappings.
299
300 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
301 process type is permissive.
302
303 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
304 icy modules.
305
306 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
307
308
309 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
310 icy settings.
