.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm posix1e
|
|
.Nd introduction to the POSIX.1e security API
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/acl.h
|
|
.In sys/mac.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
POSIX.1e describes five security extensions to the POSIX.1 API: Access
|
|
Control Lists (ACLs), Auditing, Capabilities, Mandatory Access Control, and
|
|
Information Flow Labels.
|
|
While IEEE POSIX.1e D17 specification has not been standardized, several of
|
|
its interfaces are widely used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fx
|
|
implements POSIX.1e interface for access control lists, described in
|
|
.Xr acl 3 ,
|
|
and supports ACLs on the
|
|
.Xr ffs 7
|
|
file system; ACLs must be administratively enabled using
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fx
|
|
implements a POSIX.1e-like mandatory access control interface, described in
|
|
.Xr mac 3 ,
|
|
although with a number of extensions and important semantic differences.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fx
|
|
does not implement the POSIX.1e audit, privilege (capability), or information
|
|
flow label APIs.
|
|
However,
|
|
.Fx
|
|
does implement the
|
|
.Xr libbsm
|
|
audit API.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
POSIX.1e assigns security attributes to all objects, extending the security
|
|
functionality described in POSIX.1.
|
|
These additional attributes store fine-grained discretionary access control
|
|
information and mandatory access control labels; for files, they are stored
|
|
in extended attributes, described in
|
|
.Xr extattr 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
POSIX.2c describes
|
|
a set of userland utilities for manipulating these attributes, including
|
|
.Xr getfacl 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr setfacl 1
|
|
for access control lists, and
|
|
.Xr getfmac 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr setfmac 8
|
|
for mandatory access control labels.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ;
|
|
most features were available as of
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
