Configuring SELinux

The SELinux security policy can prevent a successful installation and use of the IBM® Counter Fraud Management client tools. Ensure that the SELinux setting is configured for either permissive, or disabled to prevent issues.

To configure SELinux:

1. Open the /etc/selinux/config file and edit the SELINUX entry:

   SELINUX=permissive

2. Restart the server:

   reboot

   Tip: You can use the setenforce 0 command to set permissive mode without restarting the server; however, Step 1 is still required to ensure that the SELinux setting is correct the next time the server is restarted.
3. Verify the SELinux setting:

   sestatus

   A message similar to the following is returned:

   SELinux status:                 enabled
   SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
   Current mode:                   permissive
   Mode from config file:          permissive
   Policy version:                 2
   Policy from config file:        policy1

   If SELinux status is set to enabled, then Current Mode must be set to permissive as in this example, or else SELinux status must be set to disabled.

4. Repeat this procedure on the other servers in your topology.
