The SELinux 'targeted' policy is appropriate for general-purpose desktops and servers, as well as systems in many other roles. To configure the system to use this policy, add or correct the following line in '/etc/selinux/config': 'SELINUXTYPE=targeted' Other policies, such as 'mls', provide additional security labeling and greater confinement but are not compatible with many general-purpose use cases.


Parameter:

[targeted/mls]


Technical Mechanism:

Setting the SELinux policy to 'targeted' or a more specialized policy ensures the system will confine processes that are likely to be targeted for exploitation, such as network or system services. Note: During the development or debugging of SELinux modules, it is common to temporarily place non-production systems in 'permissive' mode. In such temporary cases, SELinux policies should be developed, and once work is completed, the system should be reconfigured to 'targeted'.
