NAME

6       ceph_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ceph processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the ceph processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The ceph processes execute with the ceph_t SELinux type. You can  check
13       if  you  have  these processes running by executing the ps command with
14       the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep ceph_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The ceph_t SELinux type can be entered via the ceph_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the ceph_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/bin/radosgw, /usr/bin/ceph-mon, /usr/bin/ceph-mds,  /usr/bin/ceph-
28       osd
29

PROCESS TYPES

31       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
32       system
33
34       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
35
36       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
37       ceph  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their ceph pro‐
38       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40       The following process types are defined for ceph:
41
42       ceph_t
43
44       Note: semanage permissive -a ceph_t can be used  to  make  the  process
45       type  ceph_t  permissive.  SELinux  does  not deny access to permissive
46       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
47       ated.
48
49

BOOLEANS

51       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  ceph
52       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53       manipulate the policy and run ceph with the tightest access possible.
54
55
56
57       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from

MANAGED FILES

166       The SELinux process type ceph_t can manage files labeled with the  fol‐
167       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
168       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

257       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
258       type.
259
260       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
261
262       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
263       SELinux ceph policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ceph
264       processes in as secure a method as possible.
265
266       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
267
268       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the ceph, if you wanted to
269       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
270       the  semanage  command  to  specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
271       storecon to put the labels on disk.
272
273       semanage fcontext -a -t ceph_exec_t '/srv/ceph/content(/.*)?'
274       restorecon -R -v /srv/myceph_content
275
276       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
277       match multiple files.
278
279       The following file types are defined for ceph:
280
281
282
283       ceph_exec_t
284
285       - Set files with the ceph_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
286       ecutable to the ceph_t domain.
287
288
289       Paths:
290            /usr/bin/radosgw,      /usr/bin/ceph-mon,       /usr/bin/ceph-mds,
291            /usr/bin/ceph-osd
292
293
294       ceph_initrc_exec_t
295
296       - Set files with the ceph_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
297       an executable to the ceph_initrc_t domain.
298
299
300       Paths:
301            /etc/rc.d/init.d/ceph, /etc/rc.d/init.d/radosgw
302
303
304       ceph_log_t
305
306       - Set files with the ceph_log_t type, if you want to treat the data  as
307       ceph log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
308
309
310       Paths:
311            /var/log/ceph(/.*)?, /var/log/radosgw(/.*)?
312
313
314       ceph_var_lib_t
315
316       - Set files with the ceph_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the ceph
317       files under the /var/lib directory.
318
319
320
321       ceph_var_run_t
322
323       - Set files with the ceph_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ceph
324       files under the /run or /var/run directory.
325
326
327
328       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
329       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
330       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
331       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
332
333

COMMANDS

335       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
336       mappings.
337
338       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
339       process type is permissive.
340
341       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
342       icy modules.
343
344       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
345
346
347       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
348       icy settings.
