Doc Text:	SELinux user mapping Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 introduces the ability to control the SELinux context of a user on a remote system. SELinux user map rules can be defined and, optionally, associated with HBAC rules. These maps define the context a user receives depending on the host they are logging into and the group membership. When a user logs into a remote host which is configured to use SSSD with the Identity Management backend, the user's SELinux context is automatically set according to mapping rules defined for that user. For more information, refer to http://freeipa.org/page/SELinux_user_mapping. This feature is considered a Technology Preview.	Story Points:	---

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-04-24 16:24:10 UTC

Rob, can you please add a short tech note about this feature in a CCCR format?

Comment 6 Rob Crittenden 2012-04-26 17:41:40 UTC

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Cause: Desire to be able to control the SELinux context a user would have on a remote system.

Consequence: The user's SELinux context was not controllable.

Change: SELinux user map rules can be defined and optionally associated with HBAC rules. These maps define the context a user will receive depending on the host they are logging into and group membership.

Result: When a user logs into a remote host which is configured to use sssd with the ipa backend then their SELinux context will be set if there are any mapping rules defined for them.

Comment 7 Jenny Severance 2012-04-26 20:40:26 UTC

Feature is in and in tech preview
