apm_selinux(8) apm SELinux Policy documentation apm_selinux(8)NAMEapm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the apm processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the apm processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the apmd_t,
you must turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
apmd_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the apmd_t, you must
turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 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 apm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their apm
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for apm:
apm_exec_t
- Set files with the apm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
cutable to the apm_t domain.
apmd_exec_t
- Set files with the apmd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the apmd_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/sbin/powersaved, /usr/sbin/acpid, /usr/sbin/apmd
apmd_lock_t
- Set files with the apmd_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
as apmd lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
apmd_log_t
- Set files with the apmd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
apmd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
apmd_tmp_t
- Set files with the apmd_tmp_t type, if you want to store apmd tempo‐
rary files in the /tmp directories.
apmd_unit_file_t
- Set files with the apmd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as apmd unit content.
apmd_var_run_t
- Set files with the apmd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the apmd
files under the /run directory.
Paths:
/var/run/.?acpid.socket, /var/run/apmd.pid, /var/run/power‐
saved.pid, /var/run/powersave_socket
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
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
apm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their apm processes
in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for apm:
apm_t, apmd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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 pol‐
icy modules.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
