keystone_selinux - Man Page

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

The keystone processes execute with the keystone_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 keystone_t

The keystone_t SELinux type can be entered via the keystone_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/keystone-all

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 psbP

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

The following process types are defined for keystone:

keystone_t, keystone_cgi_script_t

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

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

If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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 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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

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

The following port types are defined for keystone:

    keystone_port_t

Default Defined Ports: tcp 35357 udp 35357

The SELinux process type keystone_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.

/selinux

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 lsbP

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the keystone, 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 keystone_exec_t '/srv/keystone/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mykeystone_content

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

The following file types are defined for keystone:

keystone_cgi_content_t

- Set files with the keystone_cgi_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as keystone cgi content.

keystone_cgi_htaccess_t

- Set files with the keystone_cgi_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the file as a keystone cgi access file.

keystone_cgi_ra_content_t

- Set files with the keystone_cgi_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as keystone cgi read/append content.

keystone_cgi_rw_content_t

- Set files with the keystone_cgi_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as keystone cgi read/write content.

keystone_cgi_script_exec_t

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

keystone_exec_t

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

keystone_initrc_exec_t

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

keystone_log_t

- Set files with the keystone_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as keystone log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

keystone_tmp_t

- Set files with the keystone_tmp_t type, if you want to store keystone temporary files in the /tmp directories.

keystone_unit_file_t

- Set files with the keystone_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as keystone unit content.

keystone_var_lib_t

- Set files with the keystone_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the keystone files under the /var/lib directory.

keystone_var_run_t

- Set files with the keystone_var_run_t type, if you want to store the keystone files under the /run or /var/run directory.

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.

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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

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