radiusd_selinux(8) - Linux man page

Name

radiusd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the radiusd processes

Description

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

The radiusd processes execute with the radiusd_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 radiusd_t

Entrypoints

The radiusd_t SELinux type can be entered via the "radiusd_exec_t" file type. The default entrypoint paths for the radiusd_t domain are the following:"

/etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/radiusd, /etc/cron.(daily|weekly|monthly)/freeradius, /usr/sbin/radiusd, /usr/sbin/freeradius

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

The following process types are defined for radiusd:

radiusd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a radiusd_t

can be used to make the process type radiusd_t permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

Booleans

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

If you want to allow users to login using a radius server, you must turn on the authlogin_radius boolean.

setsebool -P authlogin_radius 1

If you want to allow users to login using a radius server, you must turn on the authlogin_radius boolean.

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

The following file types are defined for radiusd:

radiusd_etc_rw_t

- Set files with the radiusd_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files as radiusd etc read/write content.

radiusd_etc_t

- Set files with the radiusd_etc_t type, if you want to store radiusd files in the /etc directories.

radiusd_exec_t

- Set files with the radiusd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the radiusd_t domain.

radiusd_initrc_exec_t

- Set files with the radiusd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the radiusd_initrc_t domain.

radiusd_log_t

- Set files with the radiusd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as radiusd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

radiusd_var_lib_t

- Set files with the radiusd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the radiusd files under the /var/lib directory.

radiusd_var_run_t

- Set files with the radiusd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the radiusd files under the /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.

Port Types

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

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

The following port types are defined for radiusd:

radius_port_t
Default Defined Ports:: udp 1645,1812

Managed Files

The SELinux process type radiusd_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.

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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
