Description Pavel Snajdr 2011-08-23 13:59:06 UTC
Kerberos Authentication for CUPS web interface is not working when selinux is in enforcing mode.

CUPS package version:
cups-1.4.2-39.el6.x86_64

-------------------------------------
/var/log/cups/error_log:

E [23/Aug/2011:09:14:33 -0400] cupsdAuthorize: pam_authenticate() returned 7 (Authentication failure)!

-------------------------------------
AVC, confirmed to be solving the issue:

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2011-08-23 14:04:10 UTC
Nalin: this seems to be in pam_krb5 -- any idea what's going on here?  Does this allow line look right to you?

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2011-08-23 16:11:07 UTC
Tim, this is cups needing to be able to manipulate Kerberos replay caches, specifically being able to purge expired entries from them.  Dan, is cupsd_t one of the domains that can do that in the upcoming RHEL 6 builds (either directly, or as a user of PAM)?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-23 19:14:03 UTC
Miroslav add


optional_policy(`
	kerberos_manage_host_rcache(cupsd_t)
')

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2011-08-24 15:29:01 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-108.el6
