Additional info:
This is most probably a known issue, but filling it as I have not seen it anywhere.

The issue looks to be that katello-installer has moved the smart proxy port from 8443 to 9090, so the default policy doesn't work.

By default passenger_t is permitted name_connect to http_port_t which contains 8443. I'd suggest two changes:

  • add a new port type for the smart proxy that passenger_t is permitted to connect to, include 8443/tcp by default
  • have the foreman_proxy installer module add the $port to this SELinux port range

That sounds like a decent plan, but unfortunately port 9090 is already taken by websm service (no clue what this is). Since it is a very bad practice to redefine existing ports, I am adding 9090 into the core policy as hardcoded value (websm_port_t). But in addition to that, new port context foreman_proxy_port_t was defined so any port number can be added by users.

This has been documented here: http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/SELinux
