Description of problem:
Since version 1.1 CouchDB supports normal HTTP connections on port 5984 and SSL connections on port 6984.
Selinux does not allow CouchDB to listen on the extra 6984 port.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
couchdb-1.3.1-3.fc19.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-74.13.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install couchdb
2. setenforce 1
3. service coouchdb start

Actual results:


Expected results:
CouchDB to listen for SSL connections on port 6984

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.3/bin/beam from name_bind access on the tcp_socket .

*****  Plugin bind_ports (92.2 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to allow /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.3/bin/beam to bind to network port 6984
Then you need to modify the port type.
Do
# semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p tcp 6984
    where PORT_TYPE is one of the following: amqp_port_t, couchdb_port_t, jabber_client_port_t, jabber_interserver_port_t.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (7.83 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow nis to enabled
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'nis_enabled' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

*****  Plugin catchall (1.41 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that beam should be allowed name_bind access on the  tcp_socket 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 beam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
