Description of problem: Add support for SELinux User Mapping as a tech preview feature to IPA. http://freeipa.org/page/SELinux_user_mapping
Fixed upstream: master: 55512dc938eb4a9a6655e473beab587e340af55c ipa-2-2: a4796575717dceb8ca22d61e24766ede93f49690
Rob, can you please add a short tech note about this feature in a CCCR format?
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: Desire to be able to control the SELinux context a user would have on a remote system. Consequence: The user's SELinux context was not controllable. Change: SELinux user map rules can be defined and optionally associated with HBAC rules. These maps define the context a user will receive depending on the host they are logging into and group membership. Result: When a user logs into a remote host which is configured to use sssd with the ipa backend then their SELinux context will be set if there are any mapping rules defined for them.
Feature is in and in tech preview

SELinux user map rules can be defined and, optionally, associated with HBAC rules. These maps define the context a user receives depending on the host they are logging into and the group membership. When a user logs into a remote host which is configured to use SSSD with the Identity Management backend, the user's SELinux context is automatically set according to mapping rules defined for that user.
