2.2. Changing SELinux to permissive mode

Procedure

1. Open the /etc/selinux/config file in a text editor and configure the SELINUX=permissive option:

   # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
   # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
   #       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
   #       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
   #       disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
   SELINUX=permissive
   # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
   #       targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
   #       mls - Multi Level Security protection.
   SELINUXTYPE=targeted

2. Restart the system:

   # reboot

Verification

1. After the system restarts, confirm that the getenforce command returns Permissive:

   $ getenforce
   Permissive
