6 swat_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the swat processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the swat processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The swat processes execute with the swat_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep swat_t
19
23 The swat_t SELinux type can be entered via the swat_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the swat_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/swat
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 swat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their swat pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for swat:
40 swat_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a swat_t can be used to make the process
44 type swat_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. swat
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run swat with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
64 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
65 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
67
71 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
72 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
74 command:
75 semanage port -l
77 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
80 SELinux swat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their swat
81 processes in as secure a method as possible.
82 The following port types are defined for swat:
84 swat_port_t
87 Default Defined Ports:
91 tcp 901
92
94 The SELinux process type swat_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
95 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
96 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

138 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
139 type.
140 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
142 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
144 SELinux swat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their swat
145 processes in as secure a method as possible.
146 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
148 SELinux defines the file context types for the swat, if you wanted to
150 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
151 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
152 storecon to put the labels on disk.
153 semanage fcontext -a -t swat_exec_t '/srv/swat/content(/.*)?'
155 restorecon -R -v /srv/myswat_content
156 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
158 match multiple files.
159 The following file types are defined for swat:
161 swat_exec_t
165 - Set files with the swat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
167 ecutable to the swat_t domain.
168 swat_tmp_t
172 - Set files with the swat_tmp_t type, if you want to store swat tempo‐
174 rary files in the /tmp directories.
175 swat_var_run_t
179 - Set files with the swat_var_run_t type, if you want to store the swat
181 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
182 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
186 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
187 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
188 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
189
192 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
193 mappings.
194 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
196 process type is permissive.
197 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
199 icy modules.
200 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
202 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
204 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
207 icy settings.
