Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec processes via flexible mandatory access control.
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd serve for the ipsec_t, ipsec_mgmt_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 ipsec_t, ipsec_mgmt_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.
setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
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 ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for ipsec:
ipsec_conf_file_t
- Set files with the ipsec_conf_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as ipsec conf content.
ipsec_exec_t
- Set files with the ipsec_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ipsec_t domain.
ipsec_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the ipsec_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ipsec_initrc_t domain.
ipsec_key_file_t
- Set files with the ipsec_key_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as ipsec key content.
ipsec_log_t
- Set files with the ipsec_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as ipsec log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
ipsec_mgmt_exec_t
- Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ipsec_mgmt_t domain.
ipsec_mgmt_lock_t
- Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files as ipsec mgmt lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t
- Set files with the ipsec_mgmt_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ipsec mgmt files under the /run directory.
ipsec_tmp_t
- Set files with the ipsec_tmp_t type, if you want to store ipsec temporary files in the /tmp directories.
ipsec_var_run_t
- Set files with the ipsec_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ipsec 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.
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 ipsec policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec processes in as secure a method as possible.
