SELinux support for DevOps Deploy (formally known as UrbanCode Deploy)

Currently, DevOps Deploy v8.0.0.1.1164713, on RHEL 8.8, with SELinux status set to enforcing mode. The DevOps Deploy does not run in a "confined" context, currently running in the  "unconfined_service_t" context.  Please add SELinux support.

    Hi Dustin, i just sent you an email to see if we can coordinate a meeting to discuss this further. If there is a day / time that works best for you, we will work to bring one of our engineers to the call so we can better understand the requirements. Many thanks, -Randy

    Hi Dustin, could we meet to discuss the benefit of this Idea so that I can properly document it for our development team. It will help us to progress the work on this Idea. Could you send me an email at rlange@ibm.com and then we can coordinate a time to meet over a web meeting to discuss further? Thank you!

    Thank you for your feedback. We are meeting internal to review the request and we will be in touch. I am moving this to the 'Under Review' state.

    This is for the Deploy Server. However this could also apply to the Deploy Agent as well, I currently don't have an agent setup to check. This request really comes from the CIS benchmark for RHEL 8, where item 1.6.1.6 states, Ensure no unconfined services exist. Then running the ps -efZ | grep DeployServer command supplies the output.

    system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 ucd 931421 1 0 Apr30 ? 00:12:57 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-17/bin/java -Xmx2048m -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dcatalina.base=/opt/ucd/server/opt/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/ucd/server/opt/tomcat -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.library.path=/opt/ucd/server/lib/rcl/linux/x386_64 -Dmin.java.version=1.8.0 -jar /opt/ucd/server/bin/launcher.jar /opt/ucd/server/bin/classpath.conf com.urbancode.ds.UDeployServer

     

    Then the benchmark just wants a policy assigned to (or created for) the unconfined process.

    For reference here is the output of the sestatus command:
     

    SELinux status: enabled

    SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux

    SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux

    Loaded policy name: targeted

    Current mode: enforcing

    Mode from config file: enforcing

    Policy MLS status: enabled

    Policy deny_unknown status: allowed

    Memory protection checking: actual (secure)

    Max kernel policy version: 33

    Could you please clarify if this is for the Deploy Server, Agent, Relay or a Deploy Plugin? Any additional information you can share about what features of SELinux you would like to use would be helpful as well. Thank you for submitting this idea.
