Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Milos Malik 2018-07-11 08:20:48 UTC
Description of problem:
 * sesearch and seinfo from the setools component do recognize aliases, but sepolicy does not

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.5-23.el7.x86_64
policycoreutils-restorecond-2.5-23.el7.x86_64
policycoreutils-devel-2.5-23.el7.x86_64
policycoreutils-python-2.5-23.el7.x86_64
policycoreutils-newrole-2.5-23.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
 * always

Steps to Reproduce:
# seinfo -thplip_t -x
   TypeName cupsd_t
   Aliases
      hplip_t
# sepolicy transition -s hplip_t
ValueError: hplip_t must be an SELinux process domain:
...
# sepolicy communicate -s hplip_t -t init_t
ValueError: hplip_t must be an SELinux process domain:
...
# sepolicy manpage -d hplip_t
ValueError: hplip_t must be an SELinux process domain:
...
# seinfo -tquantum_port_t -x
   TypeName neutron_port_t
   Aliases
      quantum_port_t
# sepolicy network -t quantum_port_t 
ValueError: quantum_port_t must be an SELinux port type:
...
#

Actual results:
 * sepolicy does NOT recognize type aliases

Expected results:
 * sepolicy does recognize type aliases

Comment 1 Milos Malik 2018-07-11 08:33:51 UTC
This is not a regression. sepolicy behaves the same on RHEL-7.4 and RHEL-7.2.

Comment 5 Vit Mojzis 2018-08-02 13:23:04 UTC
There is actually no portcon record containing "quantum_port_t". Therefore this could be considered correct behaviour. 
Please create a new bug specifying what the desired behaviour would be (listing records containing corresponding type when an alias is specified / notifying user that entered types is an alias).
