Description
Manage SELinux context of files.
Setup
Setup Requirements
In order to use the selinux module, you must have selinux
ruby bindings available on the system.
Usage
To set the SELinux context on a file, use the following code:
file { "/path/to/file":
selinux_ignore_defaults => false,
selrange => 's0',
selrole => 'object_r',
seltype => 'krb5_home_t',
seluser => 'user_u',
}
To manage a SELinux policy module, use the following code:
selmodule { 'selmodule_policy':
ensure => present,
selmoduledir => '/usr/share/selinux/targeted',
}
To manage SELinux booleans, use the following code:
selboolean { 'collectd_tcp_network_connect':
persistent => true,
value => on,
}
Reference
Please see REFERENCE.md for the reference documentation, and the selinux section of the file type.
This module is documented using Puppet Strings.
For a quick primer on how Strings works, please see this blog post or the README.md for Puppet Strings.
To generate documentation locally, run the following code:
bundle install
bundle exec puppet strings generate ./lib/**/*.rb
This command will create a browsable \_index.html
file in the doc
directory. The references available here are all generated from YARD-style comments embedded in the code base. When any development happens on this module, the impacted documentation should also be updated.
Limitations
This module is only available on platforms that have selinux ruby bindings available.
Development
Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can't access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.
We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
For more information, see our module contribution guide.
Reference
Table of Contents
Resource types
selboolean
: Manages SELinux booleans on systems with SELinux support.selmodule
: Manages loading and unloading of SELinux policy modules on the system. Requires SELinux support.
Resource types
selboolean
The supported booleans are any of the ones found in /selinux/booleans/
.
Properties
The following properties are available in the selboolean
type.
value
Valid values: on
, off
, true
, false
Whether the SELinux boolean should be enabled or disabled. #{value_doc}
Parameters
The following parameters are available in the selboolean
type.
name
namevar
The name of the SELinux boolean to be managed.
persistent
Valid values: true
, false
If set true, SELinux booleans will be written to disk and persist across reboots.
The default is false
.
Default value: false
provider
The specific backend to use for this selboolean
resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually
discover the appropriate provider for your platform.
selmodule
See man semodule(8) for more information on SELinux policy modules.
Autorequires: If Puppet is managing the file containing this SELinux
policy module (which is either explicitly specified in the selmodulepath
attribute or will be found at {selmoduledir
}/{name
}.pp), the selmodule
resource will autorequire that file.
Properties
The following properties are available in the selmodule
type.
ensure
Valid values: present
, absent
The basic property that the resource should be in.
Default value: present
syncversion
Valid values: true
, false
If set to true
, the policy will be reloaded if the
version found in the on-disk file differs from the loaded
version. If set to false
(the default) the only check
that will be made is if the policy is loaded at all or not.
Parameters
The following parameters are available in the selmodule
type.
name
namevar
The name of the SELinux policy to be managed. You should not include the customary trailing .pp extension.
provider
The specific backend to use for this selmodule
resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually
discover the appropriate provider for your platform.
selmoduledir
The directory to look for the compiled pp module file in.
Currently defaults to /usr/share/selinux/targeted
. If the
selmodulepath
attribute is not specified, Puppet will expect to find
the module in <selmoduledir>/<name>.pp
, where name
is the value of the
name
parameter.
Default value: /usr/share/selinux/targeted
selmodulepath
The full path to the compiled .pp policy module. You only need to use
this if the module file is not in the selmoduledir
directory.

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Quality checks
We run a couple of automated scans to help you assess a module’s quality. Each module is given a score based on how well the author has formatted their code and documentation and select modules are also checked for malware using VirusTotal.
Please note, the information below is for guidance only and neither of these methods should be considered an endorsement by Puppet.
Malware scan results
The malware detection service on Puppet Forge is an automated process that identifies known malware in module releases before they’re published. It is not intended to replace your own virus scanning solution.
