💅 pkcs11proxyd_selinux(8) — the SELinux policy page for pkcs11proxyd, bestie

okay so welcome to the pkcs11proxyd_selinux manual page, part of the SELinux Policy pkcs11proxyd collection. yes it's a whole manpage about one policy module. she's niche, she's specific, she's serving. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pkcs11proxyd_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pkcs11proxyd processes

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pkcs11proxyd processes via flexible mandatory access control. that's the whole vibe — MAC, mandatory, no negotiating 💅

The pkcs11proxyd processes execute with the pkcs11proxyd_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like so:

ps -eZ | grep pkcs11proxyd_t

slay, now you know what's on your system ✨

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The pkcs11proxyd_t SELinux type can be entered via the pkcs11proxyd_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, the portal, the entry point (literally).

The default entrypoint paths for the pkcs11proxyd_t domain are the following:

/usr/sbin/pkcs11proxyd

that's it. one path. she's lowkey exclusive 👑

🔥 PROCESS TYPES 🔥

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. every process gets a little label, it's giving name tags at a party 🎀

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux pkcs11proxyd policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their pkcs11proxyd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for pkcs11proxyd:

• pkcs11proxyd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a pkcs11proxyd_t can be used to make the process type pkcs11proxyd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, she stops blocking you but she's still writing it all down in her notes 💀

🌈 BOOLEANS 🌈

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pkcs11proxyd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run pkcs11proxyd with the tightest access possible. toggles on toggles, we love to see it ⭐

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 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 pkcs11proxyd_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. ngl the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions — SELinux isn't out here doing DAC's job for it, okay? 🙈

💜 FILE CONTEXTS 💜

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, files get little accessories too, it's the extended attribute era ✨

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 pkcs11proxyd policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their pkcs11proxyd processes in as secure a method as possible.

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the pkcs11proxyd. 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. like, tell her about the new spot, then actually put the label there 💅

semanage fcontext -a -t pkcs11proxyd_var_run_t '/srv/mypkcs11proxyd_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mypkcs11proxyd_content

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

The following file types are defined for pkcs11proxyd:

pkcs11proxyd_exec_t

• Set files with the pkcs11proxyd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the pkcs11proxyd_t domain.

pkcs11proxyd_unit_file_t

• Set files with the pkcs11proxyd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as pkcs11proxyd unit content.

pkcs11proxyd_var_lib_t

• Set files with the pkcs11proxyd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the pkcs11proxyd files under the /var/lib directory.

pkcs11proxyd_var_run_t

• Set files with the pkcs11proxyd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pkcs11proxyd 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 database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels. chcon is the temporary tattoo, semanage fcontext + restorecon is the real one 🔥

👑 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. a whole GUI, for the girlies who prefer buttons 🎀
