6 systemd_passwd_agent_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 systemd_passwd_agent processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_passwd_agent processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The systemd_passwd_agent processes execute with the sys‐
14 temd_passwd_agent_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these pro‐
15 cesses running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep systemd_passwd_agent_t
20
21
22
24 The systemd_passwd_agent_t SELinux type can be entered via the sys‐
25 temd_passwd_agent_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the systemd_passwd_agent_t domain are
28 the following:
29
30 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-
31 agent, /usr/bin/systemd-gnome-ask-password-agent
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 systemd_passwd_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
41 their systemd_passwd_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for systemd_passwd_agent:
44
45 systemd_passwd_agent_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_passwd_agent_t can be used to make
48 the process type systemd_passwd_agent_t permissive. SELinux does not
49 deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)
50 messages are still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sys‐
55 temd_passwd_agent policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_passwd_agent
57 with the tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61 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
64 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
69 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72
73
74
76 The SELinux process type systemd_passwd_agent_t can manage files
77 labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the
78 default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need
79 to have DAC permissions.

123 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
124 type.
125
126 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
127
128 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
129 SELinux systemd_passwd_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to
130 setup their systemd_passwd_agent processes in as secure a method as
131 possible.
132
133 The following file types are defined for systemd_passwd_agent:
134
135
136
137 systemd_passwd_agent_exec_t
138
139 - Set files with the systemd_passwd_agent_exec_t type, if you want to
140 transition an executable to the systemd_passwd_agent_t domain.
141
142
143 Paths:
144 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-
145 password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-gnome-ask-password-agent
146
147
148 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
149 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
150 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
151 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
152
153
155 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
156 mappings.
157
158 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
159 process type is permissive.
160
161 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
162 icy modules.
163
164 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
165
166
167 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
168 icy settings.
