Overview

This class manages SELinux on RHEL based systems.

Requirements

• Puppet 3.8.7 or later

Module Description

This module will configure SELinux and/or deploy SELinux based modules to running system.

Requires puppetlabs/stdlib https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib

Usage

Parameters:

• $mode (enforced|permissive|disabled) - sets the operating state for SELinux.
• $type (targeted|minimum|mls) - sets the enforcement type.
• $manage_package (boolean) - Whether or not to manage the SELinux management package.
• $package_name (string) - sets the name of the selinux management package.

Reference

Basic usage

include selinux

This will include the module and allow you to use the provided defined types, but will not modify existing SELinux settings on the system.

More advanced usage

class { selinux:
  mode => 'enforcing',
  type => 'targeted',
}

This will include the module and manage the SELinux mode (possible values are enforcing, permissive, and disabled) and enforcement type (possible values are target, minimum, and mls). Note that disabling SELinux requires a reboot to fully take effect. It will run in permissive mode until then.

Deploy a custom module

selinux::module { 'resnet-puppet':
  ensure => 'present',
  source => 'puppet:///modules/site_puppet/site-puppet.te',
}

Set a boolean value

selinux::boolean { 'puppetagent_manage_all_files': }

Defined Types

• boolean - Set seboolean values
• fcontext - Define fcontext types and equals values
• module - Manage an SELinux module
• permissive - Set a context to permissive.
• port - Set selinux port context policies
