NAME

6       cockpit_session_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cock‐
7       pit_session processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cockpit_session processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   cockpit_session  processes  execute  with  the  cockpit_session_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep cockpit_session_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  cockpit_session_t SELinux type can be entered via the cockpit_ses‐
25       sion_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the cockpit_session_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/cockpit-ssh, /usr/libexec/cockpit-session
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       cockpit_session  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       cockpit_session processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for cockpit_session:
43
44       cockpit_session_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a cockpit_session_t can be used to make  the
47       process type cockpit_session_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  cock‐
54       pit_session policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the policy and run cockpit_session 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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 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
81       If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
82       on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84       setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

89       The SELinux process type cockpit_session_t  can  manage  files  labeled
90       with  the following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths
91       for these file types.  Note the processes UID still need  to  have  DAC
92       permissions.
93
94       auth_cache_t
95
96            /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?
97
98       auth_home_t
99
100            /root/.yubico(/.*)?
