KANIDM_SSHKEYS_DIRECT_SELINUX(8)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is kanidm_..._selinux(8), the SELinux Policy page for kanidm_sshkeys_direct — and the actual NAME is kanidm_sshkeys_direct_selinux: Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the kanidm_sshkeys_direct processes. bestie, we’re getting into the SELinux lore today 💅✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

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

The kanidm_sshkeys_direct processes execute with the kanidm_sshkeys_direct_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 kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS 🎀

The kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t SELinux type can be entered via the kanidm_sshkeys_direct_exec_t file type.

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

• /usr/bin/kanidm_ssh_authorizedkeys_direct

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

The following process types are defined for kanidm_sshkeys_direct:

• kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t

Note: semanage permissive -a kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t can be used to make the process type kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. no cap, that part matters 👀

🌈 BOOLEANS 🌈

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. kanidm_sshkeys_direct policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run kanidm_sshkeys_direct with the tightest access possible.

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 use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 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 kanidm_sshkeys_direct policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their kanidm_sshkeys_direct processes in as secure a method as possible.

✨ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ✨

SELinux defines the file context types for the kanidm_sshkeys_direct, if you wanted to store files with these types in a 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 kanidm_sshkeys_direct_exec_t '/srv/kanidm_sshkeys_direct/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mykanidm_sshkeys_direct_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 🙈

The following file types are defined for kanidm_sshkeys_direct:

• kanidm_sshkeys_direct_exec_t — Set files with the kanidm_sshkeys_direct_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the kanidm_sshkeys_direct_t domain.

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. temporary vs permanent is literally the whole plot twist 💀

💜 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.
