virtual_image_context(5)				       SELinux configuration					  virtual_image_context(5)

NAME
virtual_image_context - The SELinux virtual machine image context configuration file DESCRIPTION
The virtual_image_context file contains a list of image contexts for use by the SELinux-aware virtulization API libvirt (see libvirtd(8)). selinux_virtual_image_context_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default virtual image context file is: /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/virtual_image_context Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). FILE FORMAT
Each line in the file consists of an entry as follows: user:role:type[:range] Where: user role type range A user, role, type and optional range (for MCS/MLS) separated by colons (:) that can be used as a virtual image context. EXAMPLE
# ./contexts/virtual_image_context system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0 system_u:object_r:svirt_content_t:s0 SEE ALSO

NAME
failsafe_context - The SELinux fail safe context configuration file. DESCRIPTION
The failsafe_context file allows SELinux-aware applications such as PAM(8) to obtain a known valid login context for an administrator if no valid default entries can be found elsewhere. selinux_failsafe_context_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default failsafe context file is: /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/failsafe_context Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). The following functions read this file from the active policy path if they cannot obtain a default context: get_default_context(3) get_ordered_context_list(3) get_ordered_context_list_with_level(3) get_default_context_with_level(3) get_default_context_with_role(3) get_default_context_with_rolelevel(3) query_user_context(3) manual_user_enter_context(3) FILE FORMAT
The file consists of a single line entry as follows: role:type[:range] Where: role type range A role, type and optional range (for MCS/MLS), separated by colons (:) to form a valid login process context for an adminis- trator to access the system. EXAMPLE
# ./contexts/failsafe_context unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0 SEE ALSO
