I forgot to add that I see this when wpa_supplicant is launched by NetworkManager, and NetworkManager is started as a service via the /etc/init.d mechanism. If I run /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon (with SELinux enforcing enabled), everything works fine. This indicates that wpa-supplicant is trying to read the homedirectory? IE It is being denied a search of /home The certificates are in $HOME/pki/. I get something similar if I put them "system-wide", e.g. in /etc/pki/wireless/; in that case, name="home" is replaced with name="pki". Since each user may configure different certificates with nm-applet, I would think that wpa_supplicant should be able to read these areas. You mean cert correct? If you put them in /etc/pki/wireless, they should be labeled cert_t and I will change NetworkManager policy to be able to read cert_t files, You can do this yourself by executing the following. put the cert files in /etc/pki/wireless restorecon -R -v /etc/pki Run network manager to generate avc messages grep cert_t /var/log/message | audit2allow -M wpa semodule -i wpa.pp This should update the policy to allow NetworkManager to read certificate files. Thanks, that worked. |
Description of problem: selinux-policy-targeted seems to prevent wpa_supplicant from accessing SSL certificate files from somewhere in /etc/pki or in a user's $HOME. This prevents association with EAP-TLS. See the log excerpt below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.6.2-2.fc5 selinux-policy-targeted-2.2.43-4.fc5 wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.fc5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set SELinux enforcing. 2. [Re]Start NetworkManager. 3. Attempt to associate. Actual results: From the logs: Jun 18 15:29:13 harmony kernel: audit(1150640953.494:107): avc: denied { search } for pid=4741 comm="wpa_supplicant" name="home" dev=dm-0 ino=4611265 scontext=user_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=dir Jun 18 15:29:13 harmony kernel: audit(1150640953.494:108): avc: denied { search } for pid=4741 comm="wpa_supplicant" name="home" dev=dm-0 ino=4611265 scontext=user_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=dir Expected results: wpa_supplicant is allowed to read the certificates.
