第 23 章 Configuring SELinux by using RHEL system roles


You can remotely configure and manage SELinux permissions by using the selinux RHEL system role.

For example, use the selinux role for the following tasks:

  • Cleaning local policy modifications related to SELinux booleans, file contexts, ports, and logins.
  • Setting SELinux policy booleans, file contexts, ports, and logins.
  • Restoring file contexts on specified files or directories.
  • Managing SELinux modules.

To remotely reset the SELinux context on directories, you can use the selinux RHEL system role. With an incorrect SELinux context, applications can fail to access the files.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example, ~/playbook.yml, with the following content:

    ---
    - name: Managing SELinux
      hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
      tasks:
        - name: Restore SELinux context
          ansible.builtin.include_role:
            name: redhat.rhel_system_roles.selinux
          vars:
            selinux_restore_dirs:
              - /var/www/
              - /etc/

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    selinux_restore_dirs: <list>
    Defines the list of directories on which the role should reset the SELinux context.

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.selinux/README.md file on the control node.

  2. Validate the playbook syntax:

    $ ansible-playbook --syntax-check ~/playbook.yml

    Note that this command only validates the syntax and does not protect against a wrong but valid configuration.

  3. Run the playbook:

    $ ansible-playbook ~/playbook.yml

Verification

  • Display the SELinux context for files or directories for which you have reset the context. For example, to display the context on the /var/www/ directory, enter:

    # ansible rhel10.example.com -m command -a 'ls -ldZ /var/www/'
    drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 33 Feb 28 13:20 /var/www/
