SELinux
If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.
To create an SELinux policy module, perform the following steps as user "root":
-
Create the following files in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory:
File Name
Content of the File
<directory>/<file_name>.te
where:
<directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel
<file_name> is the name of the UNIX file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file.
For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.te
The content of the file should be as follows:
policy_module(<name>,<version>)
##############################
where:
<name> is the name of the policy module. You can give any unique name to the policy module, such as a process or application name.
<version> is the version of the policy module. It can be any number, such as 1.0.0.
For Example: While creating a policy module for the backup_IDA application, you can use the following content.
policy_module(backup_IDA,1.0.0)
<directory>/<file_name>.fc
where:
<directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel
<file_name> is the name of the UNIX file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file.
For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.fc
The content of the file should be as follows:
Note that the following list of files is not exhaustive. If the process fails to launch, check /var/log/messages. Also, if required, add it to the following list of files.
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCTreeWrapper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCVMAGuiImplgso -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2locale.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2osse.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDb2Sbt.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2trcapi.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDrDatabase.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libIndexing.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libSnooper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)
-
Create the policy file from command line. Use the following command. Ensure that you give the following commands in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory.
[root]# make backup_IDA.ppCompiling targeted backup_IDA module/usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/backup_IDA.tmp/usr/bin/checkmodule: policy configuration loaded/usr/bin/checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 6) to tmp/backup_IDA.modCreating targeted backup_IDA.pp policy packagerm tmp/backup_IDA.mod tmp/backup_IDA.mod.fc[root]# semodule -i backup_IDA.pp[root]# -
Execute the policy module. Use the following command:
[root]# restorecon -R /opt/<software installation directory>
SELinux is now configured to work with this application.
