NAME

user_gkeyringd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the user_gkeyringd processes

DESCRIPTION

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

The user_gkeyringd processes execute with the user_gkeyringd_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 user_gkeyringd_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The user_gkeyringd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gkeyringd_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/mate-keyring-daemon, /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon

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

The following process types are defined for user_gkeyringd:

user_gkeyringd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a user_gkeyringd_t can be used to make the process type user_gkeyringd_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. user_gkeyringd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run user_gkeyringd 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 authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 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

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

setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

MANAGED FILES

The SELinux process type user_gkeyringd_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.

cache_home_t

        /root/.cache(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?

cifs_t

config_home_t

        /root/.kde(/.*)?

       /root/.xine(/.*)?

       /root/.config(/.*)?

       /var/run/user/[^/]*/dconf(/.*)?

       /root/.Xdefaults

       /home/[^/]+/.kde(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.xine(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.config(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.cache/dconf(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.Xdefaults

ecryptfs_t

/home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?

/home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?

gkeyringd_gnome_home_t

        /root/.gnome2/keyrings(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.gnome2/keyrings(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]+/.local/share/keyrings(/.*)?

nfs_t

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.
