7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the nfsidmap processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The nfsidmap processes execute with the nfsidmap_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 nfsidmap_t
20
21
22
24 The nfsidmap_t SELinux type can be entered via the nfsidmap_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the nfsidmap_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/nfsidmap
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 nfsidmap policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their nfsidmap
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for nfsidmap:
43
44 nfsidmap_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a nfsidmap_t can be used to make the process
47 type nfsidmap_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. nf‐
54 sidmap policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run nfsidmap 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
64
65
66
68 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
69 type.
70
71 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
72
73 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
74 SELinux nfsidmap policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
75 nfsidmap processes in as secure a method as possible.
76
77 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
78
79 SELinux defines the file context types for the nfsidmap, if you wanted
80 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
81 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
82 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
83
84 semanage fcontext -a -t nfsidmap_exec_t '/srv/nfsidmap/content(/.*)?'
85 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynfsidmap_content
86
87 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
88 match multiple files.
89
90 The following file types are defined for nfsidmap:
91
92
93
94 nfsidmap_exec_t
95
96 - Set files with the nfsidmap_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
97 executable to the nfsidmap_t domain.
98
99
100
101 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
102 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
103 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
104 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
105
106
108 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
109 mappings.
110
111 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
112 process type is permissive.
113
114 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
115 icy modules.
116
117 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
118
119
120 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
121 icy settings.
