I'm currently trying to write a policy for the nginx webserver.
It is probably better to make this webserver run in the httpd_t domain.
It was my first idea but i didn't if it was a good idea to use an existing policy, written for a specific process.
That means that you would have to add file context specifications for some files included with the nginx package:
its executable file, configuration file, pid file, log, lib and init script file.
To make it permanent i would have to write a policy only with a .fc file ?
You did not include your nginx.fc file and so i cannot suggest these changes.
# nginx executable will have: # label: system_u:object_r:nginx_exec_t # MLS sensitivity: s0 # MCS categories: <none>
/usr/sbin/nginx -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:nginx_exec_t,s0)
to test (temporary label) chcon -t httpd_exec_t /usr/sbin/nginx
to make it permanent locally semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_exec_t /usr/sbin/nginx
/var/run/nginx.pid gen_context(system_u:object_r:nginx_var_run_t,s0)
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_run_t /var/run/nginx.pid
/var/log/nginx(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:nginx_var_log_t,s0)
to test (temporary label)
chcon -R -t httpd_log_t /var/log/nginx
to make permanent locally
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_log_t "/var/log/nginx(/.*)?"
/var/lib/nginx(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:nginx_var_lib_t,s0)
chcon -R -t httpd_var_lib_t /var/lib/nginx
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_lib_t "/var/lib/nginx(/.*)?"
/etc/nginx(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:nginx_conf_t,s0)
chcon -R -t httpd_config_t /etc/nginx
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_config_t "/etc/nginx(/.*)?"
use existing apache locations/types:
default system webroot:
/var/www
you can also just add the above fc specs to a .fc file (you may need to require the types used in the fc file in your te file)
Instead i would just use chcon or semanage fcontext plus restorecon. Once you confirmed that it works, you can suggest your changes upstream so that Fedora /refpolicy can make the changes to the apache module.
Hi Dominick,
What you suggested seems to work. Thanks again for your help. How can i suggest this changes upstream ?
I have submitted a patch upstream here:
