Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Description

Provides recipes for manipulating SELinux policy enforcement state.

Requirements

RHEL family distribution or other Linux system that uses SELinux.

Platform:

Tested on RHEL 5.8, 6.3

Node Attributes

  • node['selinux']['state'] - The SELinux policy enforcement state. The state to set by default, to match the default SELinux state on RHEL. Can be "enforcing", "permissive", "disabled"

Resources/Providers

selinux_state

The selinux_state LWRP is used to manage the SELinux state on the
system. It does this by using the setenforce command and rendering
the /etc/selinux/config file from a template.

Actions

  • :nothing - default action, does nothing
  • :enforcing - Sets SELinux to enforcing.
  • :disabled - Sets SELinux to disabled.
  • :permissive - Sets SELinux to permissive.

Attributes

The LWRP has no user-settable resource attributes.

Examples

Simply set SELinux to enforcing or permissive:

selinux_state "SELinux Enforcing" do
  action :enforcing
end

selinux_state "SELinux Permissive" do
  action :permissive
end

The action here is based on the value of the
node['selinux']['state'] attribute, which we convert to lower-case
and make a symbol to pass to the action.

selinux_state "SELinux #{node['selinux']['state'].capitalize}" do
  action node['selinux']['state'].downcase.to_sym
end

Recipes

All the recipes now leverage the LWRP described above.

default

The default recipe will use the attribute node['selinux']['state']
in the selinux_state LWRP's action. By default, this will be :enforcing.

enforcing

This recipe will use :enforcing as the selinux_state action.

permissive

This recipe will use :permissive as the selinux_state action.

disabled

This recipe will use :disabled as the selinux_state action.

Usage

By default, this cookbook will have SELinux enforcing by default, as
the default recipe uses the node['selinux']['state'] attribute,
which is "enforcing." This is in line with the policy of enforcing by
default on RHEL family distributions.

This has complicated considerations when changing the default
configuration of their systems, whether it is with automated
configuration management or manually. Often, third party help forums
and support sites recommend setting SELinux to "permissive." This
cookbook can help with that, in two ways.

You can simply set the attribute in a role applied to the node:

name "base"
description "Base role applied to all nodes."
default_attributes(
  "selinux" => {
    "state" => "permissive"
  }
)

Or, you can apply the recipe to the run list (e.g., in a role):

name "base"
description "Base role applied to all nodes."
run_list(
  "recipe[selinux::permissive]",
)

Roadmap

Add LWRP/Libraries for manipulating security contexts for files and
services managed by Chef.
