NAME

6       certwatch_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the certwatch
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the certwatch  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  certwatch processes execute with the certwatch_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep certwatch_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  certwatch_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the certwatch_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the certwatch_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.daily/certwatch
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       certwatch  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their cert‐
40       watch processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for certwatch:
43
44       certwatch_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  certwatch_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  certwatch_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  cert‐
54       watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run certwatch with the tightest access
56       possible.
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

66

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux process type certwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
69       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
70       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72       auth_cache_t
73
74            /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?
75
76

FILE CONTEXTS

78       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
79       type.
80
81       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
82
83       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
84       SELinux certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
85       certwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
86
87       The following file types are defined for certwatch:
88
89
90
91       certwatch_exec_t
92
93       - Set files with the certwatch_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
94       an executable to the certwatch_t domain.
95
96
97
98       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
99       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
100       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
101       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
102
103

COMMANDS

105       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
106       mappings.
107
108       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
109       process type is permissive.
110
111       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
112       icy modules.
113
114       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
115
116
117       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
118       icy settings.
