Description marcusmilligan 2013-09-05 22:02:59 UTC
Description of problem:
Upon trying to activate the VPN interface, I received the pop-up advising me that it was blocked. 
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/openvpn from 'open' accesses on the file /home/marc/personalVPN/CN00318823.crt.

*****  Plugin openvpn (47.5 confidence) suggests  ****************************

If you want to mv CN00318823.crt to standard location so that openvpn can have open access
Then you must move the cert file to the ~/.cert directory
Do
# mv /home/marc/personalVPN/CN00318823.crt ~/.cert
# restorecon -R -v ~/.cert


*****  Plugin openvpn (47.5 confidence) suggests  ****************************

If you want to modify the label on CN00318823.crt so that openvpn can have open access on it
Then you must fix the labels.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t home_cert_t /home/marc/personalVPN/CN00318823.crt
# restorecon -R -v /home/marc/personalVPN/CN00318823.crt


*****  Plugin catchall (6.38 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that openvpn should be allowed open access on the CN00318823.crt file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep openvpn /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

or the change labeling how alert tells you.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2013-09-07 10:35:44 UTC
This is a pretty good analysis by setroubleshoot, if I do say so myself.  Option 1 and 2 are spot on.

Comment 3 marcusmilligan 2013-09-07 11:38:27 UTC
I'm new to the Bugzilla world and really appreciate the help. The solution worked like a charm!
