✨ glance_api_selinux ✨

Bestie, welcome to the manual page for glance_api_selinux. It's the SELinux policy vibe for all the glance_api processes, and honestly? It's giving secure. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glance_api_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the glance_api processes. Periodt.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the glance_api processes via flexible mandatory access control. It's literally mandatory, bestie. 🔥

The glance_api processes execute with the glance_api_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 glance_api_t

---

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The glance_api_t SELinux type can be entered via the glance_api_exec_t file type. That's the doorway, iykyk. 🚪✨

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

/usr/bin/glance-api

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. It's a whole taxonomy, and we're obsessed. 🧚

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux glance_api policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their glance_api processes in as secure a method as possible. Highkey iconic.

The following process types are defined for glance_api:

• glance_api_t

Note: semanage permissive -a glance_api_t can be used to make the process type glance_api_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So like, it's not a free pass, it's just a vibe. 🫶

🌈 BOOLEANS 🌈

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The glance_api policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run glance_api with the tightest access possible. Customization is the moment, fr fr. ✨

If you want to determine whether glance-api can connect to all TCP ports, you must turn on the glance_api_can_network boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P glance_api_can_network 1

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 the glance domain to use executable memory and executable stack, you must turn on the glance_use_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P glance_use_execmem 1

If you want to allow the system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

🎀 MANAGED FILES 🎀

The SELinux process type glance_api_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. No cap on DAC, bestie. 🙈

🍓 FILE CONTEXTS 🍓

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. It's the file's whole identity, tbh. 💅

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 glance_api policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their glance_api processes in as secure a method as possible. So secure, so slay. 🔥

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the glance_api. If you wanted to store files with these types in 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 glance_api_exec_t '/srv/glance_api/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myglance_api_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex is the blueprint, bestie. 🧚

The following file types are defined for glance_api:

• glance_api_exec_t — Set files with the glance_api_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the glance_api_t domain. Go, transition, go! ✨
• glance_api_initrc_exec_t — Set files with the glance_api_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the glance_api_initrc_t domain. Another domain, another icon. 👑
• glance_api_unit_file_t — Set files with the glance_api_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as glance api unit content. Unit content, so cute. 🎀

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. Permanent means permanent, no take-backs. 💅

💜 COMMANDS 💜

semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings. It's a multi-hyphenate. ✨

semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive. Permissive vibes only. 🫶

semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules. Module management, we love to see it.

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans. Boolean era. 🌈

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings. A GUI? For SELinux? It's giving accessibility, and we're here for it. 💖
