Description

Provides recipes for manipulating selinux policy enforcement

Requirements

RHEL family distribution or other Linux system that uses SELinux.

Platform:

Tested on RHEL 5.6, 6.0 and 6.1.

Usage

SELinux is enforcing by default on RHEL family distributions, however the use of SELinux has complicated considerations when using configuration management. Often, users are recommended to set SELinux to permissive mode, or disabled completely. To ensure that SELinux is permissive or disabled, set ['selinux']['state'] attribute in either the node or role definition as such. { "selinux": { "state": "permissive" }, }

Roadmap

Add LWRP/Libraries for manipulating security contexts for files and services managed by Chef.
