21.3. Booleans

SELinux is based on the least level of access required for a service to run. Services can be run in a variety of ways; therefore, you need to specify how you run your services. Use the following Booleans to set up SELinux:
selinuxuser_postgresql_connect_enabled
Having this Boolean enabled allows any user domain (as defined by PostgreSQL) to make connections to the database server.

Note

Due to the continuous development of the SELinux policy, the list above might not contain all Booleans related to the service at all times. To list them, enter the following command: 
~]$ getsebool -a | grep service_name
Copy to Clipboard
Enter the following command to view description of a particular Boolean: 
~]$ sepolicy booleans -b boolean_name
Copy to Clipboard
Note that the additional policycoreutils-devel package providing the sepolicy utility is required for this command to work.
