pulpcore-selinux

The SELinux policy for Pulp 3.Y releases.

Building

sudo yum install -y selinux-policy-devel policycoreutils
git clone https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore-selinux
cd pulpcore-selinux

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile pulpcore_port.pp
make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile pulpcore.pp
make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile pulpcore_rhsmcertd.pp

Installing

sudo semodule -i pulpcore_port.pp
sudo semodule -i pulpcore.pp
sudo semodule -i pulpcore_rhsmcertd.pp

Labeling pulpcore_port

Required: You must label ports used by Pulp with pulpcore_port_t so that the proper type is assigned to the ports and Pulp is allowed to communicate on with the network correctly.

Apply the pulpcore_port_t SELinux type to ports 24816 and 24817 with:

sudo semanage port -a -t pulpcore_port_t -p tcp 24816-24817

Uninstalling

Uninstall in the following order:

sudo semanage port -d -t pulpcore_port_t -p tcp 24816-24817
sudo semodule -r pulpcore_rhsmcertd
sudo semodule -r pulpcore
sudo semodule -r pulpcore_port

Additional configuration

Adding support for remote repos running on custom ports

Optional By default, pulp is allowed to connect to web servers running on several standard or semi-standard ports: 80, 81, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443, 9000.

If any of the remote repos you are trying to connect to are hosted on non-standard HTTP/HTTPS ports, you can configure Pulp to be able to talk to them like in the following example for port 10011.

sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 10011

Adding support for proxy servers running on custom ports

Optional By default, pulp is allowed to connect to web proxy servers on several standard or semi-standard ports: 3128, 3401, 4827, 8080, 8118, 8123, 10001-10010.

If Pulp is configured to use a proxy server (in order to talk to remote repos), but the proxy server is on a non-standard port, you can configure Pulp to be able to talk to them like in the following example for port 10012.

sudo semanage port -a -t http_cache_port_t -p tcp 10012

NOTE: If you get the following error:

ValueError: Port tcp/10012 already defined

That means that the port number is already labelled for some other purpose by SELinux. No change was made to your system. Run this command instead (substitute http_port_t for remote repos):

sudo semanage port -m -t http_cache_port_t -p tcp 10012

NOTE: Technically Pulp can talk to any remote repo or proxy server running on any SELinux-recognized ports for web servers or for proxy servers. (They are effectively one cumulative list.)

NOTE: To see the complete list of these ports currently recognized on your system, run: sudo semanage port -l | grep -E "^http_port_t|^http_cache_port_t|^squid_port_t" | grep tcp
