6 winbind_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the win‐
7 bind_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the winbind_helper processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The winbind_helper processes execute with the winbind_helper_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep winbind_helper_t
20
24 The winbind_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the win‐
25 bind_helper_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the winbind_helper_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/bin/ntlm_auth
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for winbind_helper:
43 winbind_helper_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a winbind_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type winbind_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. win‐
54 bind_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run winbind_helper with the
56 tightest access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow Apache to use mod_auth_ntlm_winbind, you must turn
68 on the httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind 1
71 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
75 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78
82 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
83 type.
84 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
86 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
88 SELinux winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
89 their winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
90 The following file types are defined for winbind_helper:
92 winbind_helper_exec_t
96 - Set files with the winbind_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
98 tion an executable to the winbind_helper_t domain.
99 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
103 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
104 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
105 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
106
109 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
110 mappings.
111 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
113 process type is permissive.
114 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
116 icy modules.
117 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
119 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
122 icy settings.
