-SPECIFIC POLICY FILE INFORMATION
-
-mac_permissions.xml:
- ABOUT:
- The mac_permissions.xml file is used for controlling the mmac solutions
- as well as mapping a public base16 signing key with an arbitrary seinfo
- string. Details of the files contents can be found in a comment at the
- top of that file. The seinfo string, previously mentioned, is the same string
- that is referenced in seapp_contexts.
-
- This file can be replaced through BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE containing the
- value "mac_permissions.xml", however, appending (UNION) does NOT exist
- and will cause a build time failure. It is important to note the final
- processed version of this file is stripped of comments and whitespace.
- This is to preserve space on the system.img. If one wishes to view it in
- a more human friendly format, the "tidy" or "xmllint" command will assist
- you.
-
- TOOLING:
- insertkeys.py
- Is a helper script for mapping arbitrary tags in the signature stanzas of
- mac_permissions.xml to public keys found in pem files. This script takes
- a mac_permissions.xml file and configuration file in order to operate.
- Details of the configuration file (keys.conf) can be found in the subsection
- keys.conf. This script is also responsible for stipping the comments and
- whitespace from the xml file.
-
- keys.conf
- The keys.conf file is used for controlling the mapping of "tags" found in
- the mac_permissions.xml signature stanzas with actual public keys found in
- pem files. The configuration file can be used in BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION and
- BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE variables and is processed via m4.
-
- The script allows for mapping any string contained in TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT
- with specific path to a pem file. Typically TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT is either
- user, eng or userdebug. Additionally, one can specify "ALL" to map a path to
- any string specified in TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT. All tags are matched verbatim
- and all options are matched lowercase. The options are "tolowered" automatically
- for the user, it is convention to specify tags and options in all uppercase
- and tags start with @.
-
- NOTE: The pem files are base64 encoded and PackageManagerService, mac_permissions.xml
- and setool all use base16 encodings.
