NAME

       dbadm_r - Database administrator role. - Security Enhanced Linux Policy

DESCRIPTION

       SELinux supports Roles Based Access Control (RBAC), some Linux roles are login roles, while other roles need to be transition into.

       Note: Examples in this man page will use the staff_u SELinux user.

       Non  login  roles  are usually used for administrative tasks. For example, tasks that require root privileges.  Roles control which types a
       user can run processes with. Roles often have default types assigned to them.

       The default type for the dbadm_r role is dbadm_t.

       The newrole program to transition directly to this role.

       newrole -r dbadm_r -t dbadm_t

       sudo is the preferred method to do transition from one role to another.	You setup sudo to transition to dbadm_r by adding a  similar  line
       to the /etc/sudoers file.

       USERNAME ALL=(ALL) ROLE=dbadm_r TYPE=dbadm_t COMMAND

       sudo will run COMMAND as staff_u:dbadm_r:dbadm_t:LEVEL

       When using a a non login role, you need to setup SELinux so that your SELinux user can reach dbadm_r role.

       Execute the following to see all of the assigned SELinux roles:

       semanage user -l

       You need to add dbadm_r to the staff_u user.  You could setup the staff_u user to be able to use the dbadm_r role with a command like:

       $ semanage user -m -R 'staff_r system_r dbadm_r' staff_u

BOOLEANS

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

       If you want to determine whether dbadm can manage generic user files, you must turn on the  dbadm_manage_user_files  boolean.  Disabled	by
       default.

       setsebool -P dbadm_manage_user_files 1

       If  you	want  to  determine  whether  dbadm  can  read generic user files, you must turn on the dbadm_read_user_files boolean. Disabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P dbadm_read_user_files 1

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the  authlo-
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If  you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P deny_execmem 1

       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must  turn  on  the	deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled	by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If  you	want  to  allow  all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 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 enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

       If you want to allow logging in and using the system from /dev/console, you must turn on  the  login_console_enabled  boolean.  Enabled	by
       default.

       setsebool -P login_console_enabled 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

       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

       If you want to allow database admins to execute DML statement, you must turn on the postgresql_selinux_unconfined_dbadm boolean. Enabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P postgresql_selinux_unconfined_dbadm 1

       If you want to disallow programs, such as newrole, from transitioning to administrative user domains, you  must	turn  on  the  secure_mode
       boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P secure_mode 1

       If  you	want  to  allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.	This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
       badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should  be  reported  in  bugzilla,  you  must  turn  on  the  selin-
       uxuser_execstack boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

       If you want to allow ssh logins as sysadm_r:sysadm_t, you must turn on the ssh_sysadm_login boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P ssh_sysadm_login 1

       If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

       If  you	want  to  allow the graphical login program to login directly as sysadm_r:sysadm_t, you must turn on the xdm_sysadm_login boolean.
       Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P xdm_sysadm_login 1

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.
