NAME

kadmind_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the kadmind processes  

DESCRIPTION

 

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

The following file types are defined for kadmind:

kadmind_exec_t

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


Paths:
/usr/(local/)?(kerberos/)?sbin/kadmind, /usr/kerberos/sbin/kadmin.local

kadmind_log_t

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

kadmind_tmp_t

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

kadmind_var_run_t

- Set files with the kadmind_var_run_t type, if you want to store the kadmind files under the /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.

 

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 kadmind policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their kadmind processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for kadmind:

kadmind_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 policy modules.

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