DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the slapd processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the slapd_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
slapd_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 slapd_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 slapd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
slapd processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for slapd:
slapd_cert_t
- Set files with the slapd_cert_t type, if you want to treat the files
as slapd certificate data.
slapd_db_t
- Set files with the slapd_db_t type, if you want to treat the files as
slapd database content.
Paths:
/etc/openldap/slapd.d(/.*)?, /var/lib/ldap(/.*)?
slapd_etc_t
- Set files with the slapd_etc_t type, if you want to store slapd files
in the /etc directories.
slapd_exec_t
- Set files with the slapd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the slapd_t domain.
slapd_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the slapd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the slapd_initrc_t domain.
slapd_keytab_t
- Set files with the slapd_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
files as kerberos keytab files.
slapd_lock_t
- Set files with the slapd_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
as slapd lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
slapd_log_t
- Set files with the slapd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
slapd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
slapd_replog_t
- Set files with the slapd_replog_t type, if you want to treat the
files as slapd replog data.
slapd_tmp_t
- Set files with the slapd_tmp_t type, if you want to store slapd tem‐
porary files in the /tmp directories.
slapd_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the slapd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store slapd
files on a tmpfs file system.
slapd_unit_file_t
- Set files with the slapd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as slapd unit content.
slapd_var_run_t
- Set files with the slapd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
slapd files under the /run directory.
Paths:
/var/run/slapd.args, /var/run/openldap(/.*)?, /var/run/slapd.pid,
/var/run/ldapi, /var/run/slapd.*
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
slapd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their slapd pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for slapd:
slapd_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.
