service_seusers(5)

NAME
service_seusers - The SELinux GNU/Linux user and service to SELinux user mapping configuration files

DESCRIPTION
These are optional files that allow services to define an SELinux user when authenticating via SELinux-aware login applications such as PAM(8).

There is one file for each GNU/Linux user name that will be required to run a service with a specific SELinux user name.

The path for each configuration file is formed by the path returned by selinux_policy_root(3) with /logins/username appended (where username is a file representing the GNU/Linux user name). The default services directory is located at:
    /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/logins

Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).

getseuser(3) reads this file to map services to an SELinux user.

FILE FORMAT
Each line within the username file is formatted as follows with each component separated by a colon:
    service:seuser[:range]

Where:
    service
        The service name used by the application.
    seuser
        The SELinux user name.
    range
        The range for MCS/MLS policies.

EXAMPLES
Example 1 - for the 'root' user:
    # ./logins/root
    ipa:user_u:s0
    this_service:unconfined_u:s0

Example 2 - for GNU/Linux user 'rch':
    # ./logins/rch
    ipa:unconfined_u:s0
    that_service:unconfined_u:s0
