Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ipsec_mgmt 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_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_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_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
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.
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 context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux ipsec_mgmt policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ipsec_mgmt processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for ipsec_mgmt:
ipsec_mgmt_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
The SELinux user type ipsec_mgmt_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.
ipsec_key_file_t
/etc/ipsec.d(/.*)?
/etc/racoon/certs(/.*)?
/etc/ipsec.secrets

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.
