| Doc Text: |
Previously, SELinux received deny AVC messages if the dirsrv utility executed the "modutil -dbdir /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instname -fips" command to enable FIPS mode in an NSS (Network Security Service) key/cert database. This happened because the NSS_Initialize() function attempted to use prelink which uses the dirsrv_t context. With this update, prelink with the dirsrv_t context is allowed to relabel its own temporary files under these circumstances and the problem no longer occurs.
