| .SH "NAME" |
| failsafe_context \- The SELinux fail safe context configuration file |
| . |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| The |
| .I failsafe_context |
| file allows SELinux-aware applications such as |
| .BR PAM "(8) " |
| to obtain a known valid login context for an administrator if no valid default entries can be found elsewhere. |
| .sp |
| .BR selinux_failsafe_context_path "(3) " |
| will return the active policy path to this file. The default failsafe context file is: |
| .RS |
| .I /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/failsafe_context |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| Where \fI{SELINUXTYPE}\fR is the entry from the selinux configuration file \fIconfig\fR (see \fBselinux_config\fR(5)). |
| .sp |
| The following functions read this file from the active policy path if they cannot obtain a default context: |
| .br |
| .RS |
| .BR get_default_context "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR get_ordered_context_list "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR get_ordered_context_list_with_level "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR get_default_context_with_level "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR get_default_context_with_role "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR get_default_context_with_rolelevel "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR query_user_context "(3) " |
| .br |
| .BR manual_user_enter_context "(3) " |
| .RE |
| . |
| .SH "FILE FORMAT" |
| The file consists of a single line entry as follows: |
| .RS |
| \fIrole\fB:\fItype\fR[\fB:\fIrange\fR] |
| .RE |
| .sp |
| Where: |
| .RS |
| .I role |
| .I type |
| .I range |
| .RS |
| A role, type and optional range (for MCS/MLS), separated by colons (:) to form a valid login process context for an administrator to access the system. |
