NAME
smf_security - service management facility security behavior
DESCRIPTION
The configuration subsystem for the service management facility,
smf(5), requires privilege to modify the configuration of a service.
Privileges are granted to a user by associating the authorizations
described below to the user through user_attr(4) and prof_attr(4). See
rbac(5).
The following authorization is used to manipulate services and service
instances.
solaris.smf.modify Authorized to add, delete, or modify services,
service instances, or their properties.
Property Group Authorizations
The smf(5) configuration subsystem associates properties with each ser-
vice and service instance. Related properties are grouped. Groups may
represent an execution method, credential information, application
data, or restarter state. The ability to create or modify property
groups can cause smf(5) components to perform actions that may require
operating system privilege. Accordingly, the framework requires appro-
priate authorization to manipulate property groups.
Each property group has a type corresponding to its purpose. The core
property group types are method, dependency, application, and frame-
work. Additional property group types can be introduced, provided they
conform to the extended naming convention in smf(5). The following
basic authorizations, however, apply only to the core property group
types:
solaris.smf.modify.method
Authorized to change values or create, delete, or modify a property
group of type method.
solaris.smf.modify.dependency
Authorized to change values or create, delete, or modify a property
group of type dependency.
solaris.smf.modify.application
Authorized to change values or create, delete, or modify a property
group of type application.
solaris.smf.modify.framework
Authorized to change values or create, delete, or modify a property
group of type framework.
solaris.smf.modify
Authorized to add, delete, or modify services, service instances,
or their properties.
Property group-specific authorization can be specified by properties
contained in the property group.
modify_authorization Authorizations allow the addition, deletion, or
modification of properties within the property
group.
value_authorization Authorizations allow changing the values of any
property of the property group except mod-
ify_authorization.
The above authorization properties are only used if they have type
astring. If an instance property group does not have one of the proper-
ties, but the instance's service has a property group of the same name
with the property, its values are used.
Service Action Authorization
Certain actions on service instances may result in service interruption
or deactivation. These actions require an authorization to ensure that
any denial of service is a deliberate administrative action. Such
actions include a request for execution of the refresh or restart meth-
ods, or placement of a service instance in the maintenance or other
non-operational state. The following authorization allows such actions
to be requested:
solaris.smf.manage Authorized to request restart, refresh, or
other state modification of any service
instance.
In addition, the general/action_authorization property can specify
additional authorizations that permit service actions to be requested
for that service instance. The solaris.smf.manage authorization is
required to modify this property.
Defined Rights Profiles
Two rights profiles are included that offer grouped authorizations for
manipulating typical smf(5) operations.
Service Management
A service manager can manipulate any service in the repository in
any way. It corresponds to the solaris.smf.manage and
solaris.smf.modify authorizations.
The service management profile is the minimum required to use the
pkgadd(1M) or pkgrm(1M) commands to add or remove software packages
that contain an inventory of services in its service manifest.
Service Operator
A service operator has the ability to enable or disable any service
instance on the system, as well as request that its restart or
refresh method be executed. It corresponds to the solaris.smf.man-
age and solaris.smf.modify.framework authorizations.
Sites can define additional rights profiles customized to their
needs.
Remote Repository Modification
Remote repository servers may deny modification attempts due to addi-
tional privilege checks. See NOTES.
