NAME

       mongod_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mongod processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  mongod processes execute with the mongod_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 mongod_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The mongod_t SELinux type can be entered via the mongod_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic

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

       The following process types are defined for mongod:

       mongod_t

       Note:  semanage permissive -a mongod_t can be used to make the process type mongod_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.  mongod policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you
       to manipulate the policy and run mongod with the tightest access possible.

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

       setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1

       If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

       If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1

       If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 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 use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

PORT TYPES

       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

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

       The following port types are defined for mongod:

       mongod_port_t

       Default Defined Ports:
		 tcp 27017-27019,28017-28019

MANAGED FILES

       The SELinux process type mongod_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.

       cluster_conf_t

	    /etc/cluster(/.*)?

       cluster_var_lib_t

	    /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/openais(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
	    /usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

       cluster_var_run_t

	    /var/run/crm(/.*)?

	    /var/run/aeolus/dbomatic.pid

       root_t

	    /initrd

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

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

       semanage fcontext -a -t mongod_exec_t '/srv/mongod/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymongod_content

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

       The following file types are defined for mongod:

       mongod_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic

       mongod_initrc_exec_t

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

       mongod_log_t

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

       Paths:
	    /var/log/mongo.*, /var/log/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic.log.*

       mongod_tmp_t

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

       mongod_var_lib_t

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

       mongod_var_run_t

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

       Paths:
	    /var/run/mongo.*, /var/run/aeolus/dbomatic.pid

       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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
