NAME

       NetworkManager_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the NetworkManager processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The NetworkManager processes execute with the NetworkManager_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 NetworkManager_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The NetworkManager_t SELinux type can be entered via the NetworkManager_exec_t file type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the NetworkManager_t domain are the following:

       /usr/s?bin/NetworkManager, /usr/s?bin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/libexec/nm-dispatcher.action, /usr/bin/teamd, /usr/sbin/wicd,  /sbin/wpa_suppli-
       cant, /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings, /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher

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

       The following process types are defined for NetworkManager:

       NetworkManager_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a NetworkManager_t can be used to make the process type  NetworkManager_t  permissive.  SELinux  does  not  deny
       access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS

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

       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 allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

       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

       setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1

       If  you	want  to  allow xguest users to configure Network Manager and connect to apache ports, you must turn on the xguest_connect_network
       boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P xguest_connect_network 1

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server 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

MANAGED FILES

       The  SELinux  process type NetworkManager_t can manage files labeled with the following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths

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

       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES

       NetworkManager  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types under the /var/run/wpa_supplicant directory.  If you would
       like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to  store
       this data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:

       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/wpa_supplicant /srv/wpa_supplicant
       restorecon -R -v /srv/wpa_supplicant

       NetworkManager  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types under the /var/run/NetworkManager directory.  If you would
       like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to  store
       this data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:

       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/NetworkManager /srv/NetworkManager
       restorecon -R -v /srv/NetworkManager

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux	defines  the file context types for the NetworkManager, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need
       to execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t NetworkManager_etc_rw_t '/srv/NetworkManager/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myNetworkManager_content

       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

       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/NetworkManager,	  /usr/s?bin/wpa_supplicant,	/usr/libexec/nm-dispatcher.action,     /usr/bin/teamd,	   /usr/sbin/wicd,
	    /sbin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant, /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings, /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/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d(/.*)?, /etc/rc.d/init.d/wicd

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

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

       NetworkManager_var_run_t

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

       Paths:
	    /var/run/teamd(/.*)?, /var/run/nm-xl2tpd.conf.*, /var/run/nm-dhclient.*, /var/run/NetworkManager(/.*)?, /var/run/wpa_supplicant(/.*)?,
	    /var/run/wicd.pid, /var/run/NetworkManager.pid, /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf, /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global

       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.

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.
