"NAME"
user_contexts - The SELinux user contexts configuration files .
"DESCRIPTION"
These optional user context configuration files contain entries that allow SELinux-aware login applications such as PAM (8) (running in their own process context), to determine the context that a users login session should run under. SELinux-aware login applications generally use one or more of the following libselinux functions that read these files from the active policy path: 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) There can be one file for each SELinux user configured on the system. The file path is formed using the path returned by \%selinux_user_contexts_path (3) for the active policy, with the SELinux user name appended, for example: /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/unconfined_u /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/xguest_u Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). These files contain context information as described in the FILE FORMAT section. .
"FILE FORMAT"
Each line in the user context configuration file consists of the following: login_process user_login_process Where: login_process This consists of a role:type[:range] entry that represents the login process context. user_login_process This consists of a role:type[:range] entry that represents the user login process context. .
"EXAMPLE"
# Example for xguest_u at /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/users/xguest_u system_r:crond_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 system_r:initrc_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 system_r:local_login_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 system_r:remote_login_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 system_r:sshd_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 system_r:xdm_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 xguest_r:xguest_t:s0 .
