6 winbind_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the win‐
7 bind_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the winbind_helper processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The winbind_helper processes execute with the winbind_helper_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep winbind_helper_t
20
21
22
24 The winbind_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the win‐
25 bind_helper_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the winbind_helper_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/ntlm_auth
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 winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for winbind_helper:
43
44 winbind_helper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a winbind_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type winbind_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. win‐
54 bind_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run winbind_helper with the
56 tightest access 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
67 If you want to allow Apache to use mod_auth_ntlm_winbind, you must turn
68 on the httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P httpd_mod_auth_ntlm_winbind 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
75 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78
79
80
82 The SELinux process type winbind_helper_t can manage files labeled with
83 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
84 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
85 missions.
86
87 krb5_host_rcache_t
88
89 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
90 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
91 /var/tmp/nfs_0
92 /var/tmp/DNS_25
93 /var/tmp/host_0
94 /var/tmp/imap_0
95 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
96 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
97 /var/tmp/ldap_55
98 /var/tmp/ldap_487
99 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
100
101
103 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
104 type.
105
106 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
107
108 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
109 SELinux winbind_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
110 their winbind_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
111
112 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
113
114 SELinux defines the file context types for the winbind_helper, if you
115 wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need
116 to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
117 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
118
119 semanage fcontext -a -t winbind_helper_exec_t '/srv/winbind_helper/con‐
120 tent(/.*)?'
121 restorecon -R -v /srv/mywinbind_helper_content
122
123 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
124 match multiple files.
125
126 The following file types are defined for winbind_helper:
127
128
129
130 winbind_helper_exec_t
131
132 - Set files with the winbind_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
133 tion an executable to the winbind_helper_t domain.
134
135
136
137 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
138 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
139 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
140 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
141
142
144 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
145 mappings.
146
147 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
148 process type is permissive.
149
150 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
151 icy modules.
152
153 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
154
155
156 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
157 icy settings.
