Description Brian 2018-07-24 17:22:05 UTC

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/ipsec/addconn from read access on the file nm-l2tp-ipsec-163eb469-8436-4da6-a0a3-3e29f8e3c412.conf.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that addconn should be allowed read access on the nm-l2tp-ipsec-163eb469-8436-4da6-a0a3-3e29f8e3c412.conf file 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:
# ausearch -c 'addconn' --raw | audit2allow -M my-addconn
# semodule -i my-addconn.pp

Comment 2 Brian 2018-07-24 17:28:36 UTC

After installing the semodule from the details, this error appears:

SELinux is preventing addconn from open access on the file /run/nm-l2tp-ipsec-163eb469-8436-4da6-a0a3-3e29f8e3c412.conf.

/run/nm-l2tp-ipsec-163eb469-8436-4da6-a0a3-3e29f8e3c412.conf default label should be var_run_t.
Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly.

Comment 3 Brian 2018-07-24 17:31:33 UTC

The VPN would connect after installing the semodule again from previous details. There are 2 more SELinux errors that appear after it is established:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/ipsec/addconn from ioctl access on the file /run/nm-l2tp-ipsec-163eb469-8436-4da6-a0a3-3e29f8e3c412.conf.
