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 dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
61 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
62 Enabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
76 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
79
80
81
83 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
84
85 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
86 command:
87
88 semanage port -l
89
90
91 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
92 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
93 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
94
95 The following port types are defined for couchdb:
96
97
98 couchdb_port_t
99
100
101
102 Default Defined Ports:
103 tcp 5984,6984
104 udp 5984,6984
105
107 The SELinux process type couchdb_t can manage files labeled with the
108 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
109 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

178 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179 type.
180
181 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
184 SELinux couchdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
185 couchdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
188
189 SELinux defines the file context types for the couchdb, if you wanted
190 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
191 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
192 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
193
194 semanage fcontext -a -t couchdb_exec_t '/srv/couchdb/content(/.*)?'
195 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycouchdb_content
196
197 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
198 match multiple files.
199
200 The following file types are defined for couchdb:
201
202
203
204 couchdb_conf_t
205
206 - Set files with the couchdb_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
207 files as couchdb configuration data, usually stored under the /etc di‐
208 rectory.
209
210
211
212 couchdb_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the couchdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
215 executable to the couchdb_t domain.
216
217
218
219 couchdb_initrc_exec_t
220
221 - Set files with the couchdb_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
222 tion an executable to the couchdb_initrc_t domain.
223
224
225
226 couchdb_log_t
227
228 - Set files with the couchdb_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
229 as couchdb log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
230
231
232
233 couchdb_tmp_t
234
235 - Set files with the couchdb_tmp_t type, if you want to store couchdb
236 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
237
238
239
240 couchdb_unit_file_t
241
242 - Set files with the couchdb_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
243 files as couchdb unit content.
244
245
246
247 couchdb_var_lib_t
248
249 - Set files with the couchdb_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
250 couchdb files under the /var/lib directory.
251
252
253
254 couchdb_var_run_t
255
256 - Set files with the couchdb_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
257 couchdb files under the /run or /var/run directory.
258
259
260
261 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
262 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
263 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
264 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
265
266
268 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
269 mappings.
270
271 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
272 process type is permissive.
273
274 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
275 icy modules.
276
277 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
278
279 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
280
281
282 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
283 icy settings.
