Description

Using the foreman-installer options below on a CentOS 7 system that is FreeIPA-joined results in a system where the foreman-proxy service will not start due to SELinux denials.

The SELinux denial is (/var/log/audit/audit.log):

type=AVC msg=audit(1472060581.857:571): avc:  denied  { execmem } for  pid=6134 comm="ruby" scontext=system_u:system_r:foreman_proxy_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:foreman_proxy_t:s0 tclass=process

If I change SELinux to permissive or create a module using the above AVC and audit2allow the the proxy starts up fine.

foreman-prepare-realm was ran prior to foreman-installer and the keytab copied/chowned/chmoded.

/var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log says (with log level set to ERROR):

E, [2016-08-24T11:06:37.947836 #12515] ERROR -- : Error during startup, terminating. ^P|<BC>d<89>^?

The binary bits on the end change every time you attempt to start.

FYI, I did run through the "SELinux denials" section on the Foreman troubleshooting page (without my custom module loaded) including a full relabel of the system.

Results of foreman-debug are at http://debugs.theforeman.org/foreman-debug-1D7Ku.tar.xz.

Thanks for the report. For the record, the missing rules are:

Looks like OpenSCAP plugin's FFI dependency has problems, also something is sniffing around the filesystem, might be also the new inotify capability. We have couple of regressions as SELinux for proxy is turned off by default.

I will fix the bugs and suggest turning it on by default now.

For the record, FFI is SELinux unfriendly, turns out most FFI applications won't start due to execmem.
