Description of problem: We can not use cracklib dictionary checking in our aplication (389-ds-base and freeipa) because selinux blocks access to the cracklib dictionary files. This was supposed to be fixed in RHEL 6, but it's a problem on RHEL and Fedora 28. BZ - 1175188 - selinux blocks slapd access to cracklib I tested with: selinux-policy-3.14.1-32.fc28.noarch libselinux-2.8-1.fc28.x86_64
Please collect SELinux denials triggered by your scenario: # ausearch -m avc -m user_avc -m selinux_err -m user_selinux_err -i -ts today and attach them here.
Here it is (thanks!): [root@localhost password]# ausearch -m avc -m user_avc -m selinux_err -m user_selinux_err -i -ts today ---- type=AVC msg=audit(07/10/2018 07:57:30.870:1886) : avc: denied {
