6 couchdb_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the couchdb pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the couchdb processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The couchdb processes execute with the couchdb_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep couchdb_t
20
21
22
24 The couchdb_t SELinux type can be entered via the couchdb_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the couchdb_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/couchdb
31
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 couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their couchdb
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for couchdb:
43
44 couchdb_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a couchdb_t can be used to make the process
47 type couchdb_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. couchdb
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run couchdb with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
64
65
66
68 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
69
70 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
71 command:
72
73 semanage port -l
74
75
76 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
77 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
78 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
79
80 The following port types are defined for couchdb:
81
82
83 couchdb_port_t
84
85
86
87 Default Defined Ports:
88 tcp 5984,6984
89 udp 5984,6984
90
92 The SELinux process type couchdb_t can manage files labeled with the
93 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
94 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

163 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164 type.
165
166 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167
168 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
169 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
170 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174 SELinux defines the file context types for the couchdb, if you wanted
175 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
176 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
177 storecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -t couchdb_unit_file_t '/srv/mycouchdb_con‐
180 tent(/.*)?'
181 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycouchdb_content
182
183 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
184 match multiple files.
185
186 The following file types are defined for couchdb:
187
188
189
190 couchdb_conf_t
191
192 - Set files with the couchdb_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
193 files as couchdb configuration data, usually stored under the /etc di‐
194 rectory.
195
196
197
198 couchdb_exec_t
199
200 - Set files with the couchdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
201 executable to the couchdb_t domain.
202
203
204
205 couchdb_initrc_exec_t
206
207 - Set files with the couchdb_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
208 tion an executable to the couchdb_initrc_t domain.
209
210
211
212 couchdb_log_t
213
214 - Set files with the couchdb_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
215 as couchdb log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
216
217
218
219 couchdb_tmp_t
220
221 - Set files with the couchdb_tmp_t type, if you want to store couchdb
222 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
223
224
225
226 couchdb_unit_file_t
227
228 - Set files with the couchdb_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
229 files as couchdb unit content.
230
231
232
233 couchdb_var_lib_t
234
235 - Set files with the couchdb_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
236 couchdb files under the /var/lib directory.
237
238
239
240 couchdb_var_run_t
241
242 - Set files with the couchdb_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
243 couchdb files under the /run or /var/run directory.
244
245
246
247 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
248 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
249 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
250 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
251
252
254 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
255 mappings.
256
257 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
258 process type is permissive.
259
260 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
261 icy modules.
262
263 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
264
265 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
266
267
268 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
269 icy settings.
