Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Cause: A ceph daemon can try to access httpd config files but it is forbidden to do so by SELinux. Consequence: AVC denials appear in /var/log/audit/audit.log in the form "type=AVC msg=audit(1523314111.291:2981): avc: denied { search } for pid=27807 comm="ms_dispatch" name="httpd" dev="sda1" ino=1172 scontext=system_u:system_r:ceph_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_config_t:s0 tclass=dir" Workaround (if any): If you are experiencing any issues because of this AVC denial you can put SELinux into Permissive mode with # setenforce Permissive Result: SElinux will allow ceph to access httpd config files.

Boris,

Would you please verify my known_issue doc_text

I have updated the doc text. I don't think we want to do advice customers to put this denial into their own custom policy. It may cause some issues (print some warnings) in the future when we allow this in our ceph policy. Instead, we should just guide the customers to put SELinux into Permissive mode if they are experiencing any issues.

No docs changes needed for this
