RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2015-11-11 18:57:50 UTC
When accidently trying to install ds with a port labeled already labeled as kubernetes_port_t the installation script spends a lot of time in repeating semanage (60 retries) and then the server started and failed to bind to the port.

The retry count has been reduced in a recent fix, but retrying makes no sense if it is known to fail again.
Also the error message should be logged not only in debug mode

Maybe when the port is specified a semanage -l could be run to see if the port can be labeled

Comment 2 Punit Kundal 2016-07-18 15:02:41 UTC
RHEL:
RHEL 7.3 x86_64 Server

DS builds:
[root@org47 ~]# rpm -qa | grep 389-ds-base
389-ds-base-1.3.5.10-5.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-snmp-1.3.5.10-5.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-libs-1.3.5.10-5.el7.x86_64

Steps Performed:
1. labelled port 3389 with ssh_port_t security context
 
[root@org47 ~]# semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 3389
 
2. Used the same port with setup-ds.pl for creating the server instance

[root@org47 ~]# setup-ds.pl
 
The standard directory server network port number is 389.  However, if
you are not logged as the superuser, or port 389 is in use, the
default value will be a random unused port number greater than 1024.
If you want to use port 389, make sure that you are logged in as the
superuser, that port 389 is not in use.
 
Directory server network port [389]: 3389
 
Instance creation failed with the following error:

Port 3389 already belongs to another selinux type.
 The command below will show you the current type that owns the port.
sudo /usr/sbin/ds_selinux_port_query 3389 ldap_port_t
 It is highly likely your server will fail to start ...
Process returned 256
[18/Sep/2016:19:56:21.825619286 +051800] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on All Interfaces port 3389 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5966 (Access Denied.)
Could not start the directory server using command '/bin/systemctl start dirsrv'.  The last line from the error log was '[18/Sep/2016:19:56:21.825619286 +051800] createprlistensockets - PR_Bind() on All Interfaces port 3389 failed: Netscape Portable Runtime error -5966 (Access Denied.)
'.  Error: Unknown error 256
Error: Could not create directory server instance 'ds'.
Exiting . . .
Log file is '/tmp/setupxsrnFG.log'

3. Checked the port type with ds_selinux_port_query

[root@org47 ~]# /usr/sbin/ds_selinux_port_query 3389 ldap_port_t
Port belongs to ssh_port_t

As can be seen above, the port type is displayed correctly
