auditadm_selinux(8)  auditadm SELinux Policy documentation auditadm_selinux(8)

NAME
       auditadm_r - Audit administrator role - Security Enhanced Linux Policy

DESCRIPTION
       SELinux	supports  Roles	 Based Access Control (RBAC), some Linux roles
       are login roles, while other roles need to be transition into.

       Note: Examples in this man page will use the staff_u SELinux user.

       Non login roles are usually used for administrative tasks. For example,
       tasks  that  require root privileges.  Roles control which types a user
       can run processes with. Roles often  have  default  types  assigned  to
       them.

       The default type for the auditadm_r role is auditadm_t.

       The newrole program to transition directly to this role.

       newrole -r auditadm_r -t auditadm_t

       sudo is the preferred method to do transition from one role to another.
       You setup sudo to transition to auditadm_r by adding a similar line  to
       the /etc/sudoers file.

       USERNAME ALL=(ALL) ROLE=auditadm_r TYPE=auditadm_t COMMAND

       sudo will run COMMAND as staff_u:auditadm_r:auditadm_t:LEVEL

       When  using  a a non login role, you need to setup SELinux so that your
       SELinux user can reach auditadm_r role.

       Execute the following to see all of the assigned SELinux roles:

       semanage user -l

       You need to add auditadm_r to the staff_u user.	You  could  setup  the
       staff_u user to be able to use the auditadm_r role with a command like:

       $ semanage user -m -R 'staff_r system_r auditadm_r' staff_u

       SELinux	policy also controls which roles can transition to a different
       role.  You can list these rules using the following command.

       search --role_allow

       SELinux policy allows the sysadm_r, secadm_r, staff_r roles can transi‐
       tion to the auditadm_r role.

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

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
       both  executable	 and  writable,	 this  is dangerous and the executable
       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
       ean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P deny_execmem 1

       If  you	want  to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
       processes, you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace	 boolean.  Enabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load	 modules,  you
       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules	boolean.  Disabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       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

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with	kerberos,  you
       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

       If you want to allow logging in and using the system from /dev/console,
       you must turn on the login_console_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P login_console_enabled 1

       If you want to allow system to run with	NIS,  you  must	 turn  on  the
       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

       If  you	want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

       If you want to disallow programs, such as newrole,  from	 transitioning
       to  administrative user domains, you must turn on the secure_mode bool‐
       ean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P secure_mode 1

       If you want to allow unconfined executables to make  their  stack  exe‐
       cutable.	  This	should	never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
       badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack.  This  executable
       should  be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
       stack boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

       If you want to allow ssh logins as sysadm_r:sysadm_t, you must turn  on
       the ssh_sysadm_login boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P ssh_sysadm_login 1

       If  you	want to allow the graphical login program to login directly as
       sysadm_r:sysadm_t, you must turn on the xdm_sysadm_login boolean.  Dis‐
       abled by default.

       setsebool -P xdm_sysadm_login 1

MANAGED FILES
       The  SELinux  process type auditadm_t can manage files labeled with the
       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

       auditd_etc_t

	    /etc/audit(/.*)?

       auditd_log_t

	    /var/log/audit(/.*)?
	    /var/log/audit.log

       screen_home_t

	    /root/.screen(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.screen(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.screenrc

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.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
