Manage SELinux Security Policy and Messages
Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) provides an additional layer of security on a host system by applying security policies that enable administrators to control who can access the system. The SELinux package is by default included at installation by most Oracle Linux distributions. Upon starting the system, SELinux automatically applies security restrictions to users, programs, processes, and files based on the access permissions defined in the policy.
Administration tasks for setting SELinux policy rules and users are administered from the command line. However, tasks for changing the SELinux policy mode and managing the SELinux alert messages and automation script are conveniently supported in the Cockpit web console. For more details on how administrators can use the Cockpit web console to perform these tasks, see:
