NAME¶

ricci_modservice_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ricci_modservice processes

DESCRIPTION¶

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ricci_modservice processes via flexible mandatory access control.

The ricci_modservice processes execute with the ricci_modservice_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep ricci_modservice_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The ricci_modservice_t SELinux type can be entered via the ricci_modservice_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the ricci_modservice_t domain are the following:

/usr/libexec/ricci-modservice

PROCESS TYPES¶

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux ricci_modservice policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ricci_modservice processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for ricci_modservice:

ricci_modservice_t

Note: semanage permissive -a ricci_modservice_t can be used to make the process type ricci_modservice_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS¶

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ricci_modservice policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run ricci_modservice with the tightest access possible.

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

FILE CONTEXTS¶

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux ricci_modservice policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ricci_modservice processes in as secure a method as possible.

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the ricci_modservice, if you wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

semanage fcontext -a -t ricci_modservice_exec_t '/srv/ricci_modservice/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myricci_modservice_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for ricci_modservice:

ricci_modservice_exec_t

- Set files with the ricci_modservice_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ricci_modservice_t domain.

Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS¶

semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.

semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.

semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
