DESCRIPTION
SolarisTM Trusted Extensions software is a specific configuration of
the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). Solaris Trusted Extensions
(Trusted Extensions) provides labels for local objects and processes,
for the desktop and windowing system, for zones and file systems, and
for network communications. These labels are used to implement a Multi‐
level Security (MLS) policy that restricts the flow of information
based on label relationships. In contrast to Discretionary Access Con‐
trol (DAC) based on ownership, the MLS policy enforced by Trusted
Extensions is an example of Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
By default, Trusted Extensions software is disabled. It is enabled and
disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(1M) service, identified by
the FMRI:
svc:/system/labeld:default
Refer to the Administrator's Guide listed below for the required con‐
figuration of Trusted Extensions software necessary before use. The
system must be rebooted after enabling or disabling labeld to activate
or deactivate Trusted Extensions software.
