Creating Labeled Zones

The instructions in this section configure labeled zones. You have the option of creating two labeled zones automatically or manually creating zones.


Note - If you plan to use LDAP, go to Configuring LDAP for Trusted Extensions. You must configure LDAP before you create labeled zones.

Tip  -  To create a kernel or an immutable zone that is running Trusted Extensions, follow the instructions for creating a kernel or immutable zone: As part of zone configuration, add the Trusted Extensions packages, enable Trusted Extensions, and then complete the configuration required for Trusted Extensions. Do not make a zone immutable until after configuration is complete.
