Configuring Labels on an Oracle Solaris System

In Oracle Solaris, labels facilitate data loss protection, which is a requirement of certain standards, such as PCI-DSS. For an overview of the steps to use labels for data loss protection, see Overall Process for Configuring Labeling.

Configuring labels involves the following tasks:

• Creating labels – Initially Configuring Labels in Oracle Solaris

• Hardening labeled file systems – Further Hardening Labeled File Systems

• Backing up and archiving labeled file systems – Maintaining Labeled File Systems

• Testing labels – Viewing and Testing Sample Label Encodings Files

For more examples, see Example - Label Encodings File With Reused Compartment Bits and Chapter 6, Labeling Processes for Data Loss Protection in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
