6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
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 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ac‐
40 countsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43 accountsd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ac‐
54 countsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that al‐
55 low you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
75 The SELinux process type accountsd_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

139 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
140 type.
141 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
143 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
145 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
146 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
147 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
149 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
151 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
152 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
153 storecon to put the labels on disk.
154 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_unit_file_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
156 tent(/.*)?'
157 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
158 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
160 match multiple files.
161 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
163 accountsd_exec_t
167 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
169 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
170 Paths:
173 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-
174 daemon
175 accountsd_unit_file_t
178 - Set files with the accountsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
180 the files as accountsd unit content.
181 accountsd_var_lib_t
185 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
187 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
188 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
192 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
193 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
194 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
195
198 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
199 mappings.
200 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
202 process type is permissive.
203 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
205 icy modules.
206 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
208 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
211 icy settings.
