NAME

6       puppetca_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the puppetca pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  puppetca  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  puppetca  processes  execute with the puppetca_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 puppetca_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The puppetca_t SELinux type can be entered via the puppetca_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the puppetca_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/puppetca, /usr/sbin/puppetca, /usr/bin/start-puppet-ca
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       puppetca policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their puppetca
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for puppetca:
43
44       puppetca_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a puppetca_t can be used to make the process
47       type  puppetca_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  pup‐
54       petca policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you  to manipulate the policy and run puppetca 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 puppetca_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       puppet_var_lib_t
73
74            /var/lib/puppet(/.*)?
75
76       security_t
77
78            /selinux
79

FILE CONTEXTS

82       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
83       type.
84
85       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
86
87       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
88       SELinux  puppetca policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
89       puppetca processes in as secure a method as possible.
90
91       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
92
93       SELinux defines the file context types for the puppetca, if you  wanted
94       to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
95       cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use
96       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
97
98       semanage fcontext -a -t puppetca_exec_t '/srv/puppetca/content(/.*)?'
99       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypuppetca_content
100
101       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
102       match multiple files.
103
104       The following file types are defined for puppetca:
105
106
107
108       puppetca_exec_t
109
110       - Set files with the puppetca_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
111       executable to the puppetca_t domain.
112
113
114       Paths:
115            /usr/bin/puppetca, /usr/sbin/puppetca, /usr/bin/start-puppet-ca
116
117
118       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
119       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
120       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
121       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
122
123

COMMANDS

125       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
126       mappings.
127
128       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
129       process type is permissive.
130
131       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
132       icy modules.
133
134       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
135
136
137       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
138       icy settings.
