sssd_selinux(8) SELinux Policy sssd sssd_selinux(8)NAMEsssd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sssd processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sssd processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
The sssd processes execute with the sssd_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 sssd_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The sssd_t SELinux type can be entered via the sssd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the sssd_t domain are the following:
/usr/sbin/sssd
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
sssd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sssd pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for sssd:
sssd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a sssd_t can be used to make the process
type sssd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
ated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sssd
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run sssd 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 use_samba_home_dirs 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
ldap rather then using a sssd server for the sssd_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
sssd_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.
setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type sssd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

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 sssd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sssd
processes in as secure a method as possible.
EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
sssd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
under the /var/lib/sss directory. If you would like to store the data
in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
dirctory you would execute the following command:
semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/sss /srv/sss
restorecon -R -v /srv/sss
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the sssd, if you wanted to
store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t sssd_conf_t '/srv/sssd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysssd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for sssd:
sssd_conf_t
- Set files with the sssd_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
as sssd configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
sssd_exec_t
- Set files with the sssd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the sssd_t domain.
sssd_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the sssd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the sssd_initrc_t domain.
sssd_public_t
- Set files with the sssd_public_t type, if you want to treat the files
as sssd public data.
Paths:
/var/lib/sss/mc(/.*)?, /var/lib/sss/pubconf(/.*)?
sssd_unit_file_t
- Set files with the sssd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as sssd unit content.
sssd_var_lib_t
- Set files with the sssd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the sssd
files under the /var/lib directory.
sssd_var_log_t
- Set files with the sssd_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as sssd var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
sssd_var_run_t
- Set files with the sssd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the sssd
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 data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
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.
