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 Jonathan Underwood 2011-06-14 17:27:53 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently SElinux policy forbids kadmind from communicating with slapd via ldapi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libselinux-2.0.94-2.el6.x86_64
libselinux-utils-2.0.94-2.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch
libselinux-ruby-2.0.94-2.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch
krb5-server-1.8.2-3.el6_0.7.x86_64
krb5-server-ldap-1.8.2-3.el6_0.7.x86_64
krb5-workstation-1.8.2-3.el6_0.7.x86_64
krb5-libs-1.8.2-3.el6_0.7.x86_64
openldap-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64
openldap-servers-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64
openldap-clients-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64


How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure  krb5.conf such that kadmin it is communicating to a backend openldap database on same host
2. Try to start kadmin service 
3. 

Actual results:
Starting Kerberos 5 Admin Server: kadmind: Can't contact LDAP server while initializing, aborting

Expected results:
kadmin service starts

Additional info:
setenforce 0 does allow kadmin to start. Basically we need to allow kadmind to communicate with slapd via a socket (/var/run/ldapi)

Generating an selinux module with:

grep kadmin audit.log | audit2allow -M kadminldapilocal

produces the following kadminldapilocal.te

module kadminldapilocal 1.0;

require {
        type slapd_t;
        type slapd_var_run_t;
        type kadmind_t;
        class sock_file write;
        class unix_stream_socket connectto;
}

#============= kadmind_t ==============
allow kadmind_t slapd_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
allow kadmind_t slapd_var_run_t:sock_file write;

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-14 20:44:04 UTC
I think this is fixed in the 6.1 policy.  I know it is in 
selinux-policy-3.7.19-98.el6  which is the preview of the 6.2 policy.

Preview available on people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL6
