NAME

NetworkManager_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the NetworkManager processes

DESCRIPTION

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

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd serve for the NetworkManager_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 NetworkManager_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 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 lsP Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux NetworkManager policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their NetworkManager processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following file types are defined for NetworkManager:

NetworkManager_etc_rw_t

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

Paths:: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections(/.*)?, /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

NetworkManager_etc_t

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

NetworkManager_exec_t

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

Paths:: /usr/s?bin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant, /sbin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings, /usr/sbin/wicd, /usr/s?bin/NetworkManager, /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher

NetworkManager_initrc_exec_t

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

Paths:: /etc/rc.d/init.d/wicd, /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/nm-dispatcher.action

NetworkManager_log_t

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

Paths:: /var/log/wpa_supplicant.*, /var/log/wicd.*

NetworkManager_tmp_t

- Set files with the NetworkManager_tmp_t type, if you want to store NetworkManager temporary files in the /tmp directories.

NetworkManager_unit_file_t

- Set files with the NetworkManager_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as NetworkManager unit content.

NetworkManager_var_lib_t

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

Paths:: /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf, /var/lib/wicd(/.*)?, /etc/dhcp/wired-settings.conf, /etc/dhcp/wireless-settings.conf, /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf, /etc/dhcp/manager-settings.conf, /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf, /var/lib/NetworkManager(/.*)?

NetworkManager_var_run_t

- Set files with the NetworkManager_var_run_t type, if you want to store the NetworkManager files under the /run directory.

Paths:: /var/run/nm-dhclient.*, /var/run/wpa_supplicant(/.*)?, /var/run/NetworkManager.pid, /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global, /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf, /var/run/NetworkManager(/.*)?

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.

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the s
