6 ipsec_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ipsec processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The ipsec processes execute with the ipsec_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep ipsec_t
19
20
21
23 The ipsec_t SELinux type can be entered via the ipsec_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the ipsec_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/libexec/strongimcv/.*, /usr/libexec/strongswan/.*,
28 /usr/lib/ipsec/spi, /usr/lib/ipsec/pluto, /usr/lib/ipsec/eroute,
29 /usr/libexec/ipsec/spi, /usr/libexec/ipsec/pluto, /usr/sbin/charon-sys‐
30 temd, /usr/lib/ipsec/klipsdebug, /usr/libexec/ipsec/eroute,
31 /usr/libexec/ipsec/addconn, /usr/libexec/ipsec/klipsdebug
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for ipsec:
44
45 ipsec_t, ipsec_mgmt_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a ipsec_t can be used to make the process
48 type ipsec_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ipsec
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run ipsec with the tightest access possible.
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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
90 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
91
92 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
93 command:
94
95 semanage port -l
96
97
98 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
99 SELinux ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
100 ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
101
102 The following port types are defined for ipsec:
103
104
105 ipsecnat_port_t
106
107
108
109 Default Defined Ports:
110 tcp 4500
111 udp 4500
112
114 The SELinux process type ipsec_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
115 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
116 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

252 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
253 type.
254
255 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
256
257 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
258 SELinux ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
259 ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
260
261 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
262
263
264 ipsec policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
265 der the /var/run/pluto directory. If you would like to store the data
266 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
267 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
268 directory you would execute the following command:
269
270 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/pluto /srv/pluto
271 restorecon -R -v /srv/pluto
272
273 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
274
275 SELinux defines the file context types for the ipsec, if you wanted to
276 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
277 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
278 storecon to put the labels on disk.
279
280 semanage fcontext -a -t ipsec_exec_t '/srv/ipsec/content(/.*)?'
281 restorecon -R -v /srv/myipsec_content
282
283 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
284 match multiple files.

423 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
424 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
425 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
426 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
427
428
430 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
431 mappings.
432
433 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
434 process type is permissive.
435
436 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
437 icy modules.
438
439 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
440
441 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
