Description Peter Hjalmarsson 2013-02-14 13:35:28 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading my virtual Fedora 17 freeipa server to Fedora 18 ipa.service fails to start if selinux is in enforcing mode

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-server.x86_64                 3.1.2-1.fc18
selinux-policy.noarch                 3.11.1-76.fc18

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install freeipa on Fedora 17
2. Upgrade to Fedora 18
3. restart
  
Actual results:
systemctl reports ipa.service along with pki-ca@ and httpd failed to start

Expected results:
Everything starts to work at it should

Additional info:
I found the following in /var/log/audit/audit.log:

type=AVC msg=audit(1360847849.390:97): avc:  denied  { transition } for  pid=1209 comm="runcon" path="/usr/sbin/tomcat6-sysd" dev="vda2" ino=404044 scontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pki_tomcat_script_t:s0 tclass=process

echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce or boot with selinux in permissive mode and it works.

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2013-02-14 14:10:12 UTC
Re-assigning to selinux-policy to get their take on this.

The pki-core team was baffled by this as well. It isn't clear yet where this transition is coming from, whether from the tomcat package, remnants of the old pki-selinux or something else.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-02-18 17:33:25 UTC
Is /usr/sbin/tomcat6-sysd supposed to run as httpd_t?

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2013-02-18 19:47:25 UTC
I don't think so. I need to repeat pki+selinux knowledge.

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2013-02-19 16:05:25 UTC
I added a fix.
