Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-05-26 14:53:52 UTC
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2014-05-28 07:57:05 UTC
Sorry I meant they are installed, but not effective. Let me investigate this first.

Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2014-07-31 15:19:00 UTC
Cloned into Pulp and Candlepin projects, waiting for confirmation or explanation.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2014-08-05 12:27:16 UTC
I have no idea what this bugzilla is complaining about?  What are the pulp-selinux and candlepin-selinux packages supposed to do?  And why do you think they are not effective?

Comment 7 Lukas Zapletal 2014-08-06 13:20:40 UTC
The issue I have the current candlepin-selinux policy:

https://github.com/candlepin/candlepin/tree/master/server/selinux

I can see specific domain and some rules but I can't find any process running as candlepin_t. I can only see tomcat6 process running in the generic unconfined_java_t.

Those packages which are installed with Candlepin/Pulp are supposed to carry project policies similarly like spacewalk-selinux or foreman-selinux do.

I suspect that the candlepin policy is outdated and not used at all. For Pulp, I think it is partially working.

Please dicuss this in the cloned bugs for each project, these are two different cases I think.

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2014-08-06 15:51:23 UTC
Did you run this through a init script or run it directly.  You need to use the service script to start your instance.

unconfined_t will not transition directly to your domain.

unconfined_t @initrc_exec_t -> initrc_t @ candlepin_exec_t -> candlepin_t

Comment 9 Lukas Zapletal 2014-08-11 06:55:31 UTC
Dan, I only use the init scripts of course. This is the bug I am reporting here. It ends up in wrong context.

Comment 10 Daniel Walsh 2014-08-12 13:40:47 UTC
Well then one of the scripts is labeled bin_t rather then initrc_exec_t, in order for a system service to continue to run as unconfined_t.  

What does the service run as if it is started during the boot.

Comment 12 Miroslav Grepl 2014-09-03 14:06:19 UTC
Lukas,
there will be an issue with java and how it is executed. Basically you need to have a helper script which executes tomcat from this script.

Comment 13 Lukas Zapletal 2014-09-03 14:39:49 UTC
Moving your last comment to the cloned bug, closing this one.
