Set up SELinux

If SELinux is active on the server that runs your TeamForge site, configure it to allow the services that TeamForge requires.

Pre-requisites to set up the SELinux environment:

TeamForge SELinux can be configured only for the TeamForge Application Server.
In case of same hardware upgrade using RHEL/CentOS, it is recommended to upgrade the OS to RHEL/CentOS 7.2 or later versions.

Attention: Installing or upgrading TeamForge needs root privileges. You must log on as root or use a root shell to install or upgrade TeamForge.

Verify SELinux mode using "getenforce" command. Do this if you have SELinux running in "disabled" mode:
1. Stop TeamForge.
  Note: Stop TeamForge on all the servers in a distributed setup.
  - /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge stop
2. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set SELINUX=enforcing.
3. Turn off TeamForge startup on boot.
  - chkconfig collabnet off
4. Reboot the server and verify if SELInux is set to "enforcing" mode.
  - getenforce
5. Run the grep command to get the value of rb_dir and rb_data_dir.
  - grep rb_dir /etc/reviewboard.properties
  - grep rb_data_dir /etc/reviewboard.properties
6. Run the following commands if Review Board is integrated with TeamForge.
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "<rb_data_dir>(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v <rb_data_dir>
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "<rb_dir>(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v <rb_dir>
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/opt/collabnet/teamforge/var/home/apache(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var/home/apache
7. Before deploying services, remove pdk-root and pdk-sf-admin directories.
  - rm -rf /tmp/pdk-root
  - rm -rf /tmp/pdk-sf-admin
8. Turn on TeamForge startup on boot.
  - chkconfig collabnet on
9. Run the following command to switch SELinux to 'Permissive' mode.
  - setenforce 0
10. Deploy services.
  - /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge provision
  The "provision" command prompts for response before it bootstraps or migrates data during TeamForge installation and upgrade respectively. Enter "Yes" or "No" to proceed. For more information, see The teamforge script.
11. Start TeamForge.
  - /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge start
12. Run the TeamForge post installation script.
  - /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/post-install.py
13. Fix the SELinux data permissions.
  - cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/
  - ./fix_data_selinux_permissions.sh
  Note: If your data directory is on a NetApp volume, you may observe some warning messages which can be ignored safely.
Verify SELinux mode using "getenforce" command. Do this if you have SELinux running in "permissive" mode:
1. Set SELinux to run in "enforcing" mode again.
  - setenforce 1
2. Run the grep command to get the value of httpd_user and httpd_group.
  - grep rb_dir /etc/reviewboard.properties
  - grep rb_data_dir /etc/reviewboard.properties
3. Run the following commands if Review Board is integrated with TeamForge.
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "<rb_data_dir>(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v <rb_data_dir>
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "<rb_dir>(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v <rb_dir>
  - semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/opt/collabnet/teamforge/var/home/apache(/.*)?"
  - restorecon -R -v /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var/home/apache
4. Restart TeamForge.
  - /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge restart
5. Fix the SELinux data permissions.
  - cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/
  - ./fix_data_selinux_permissions.sh
  Note: If your data directory is on a NetApp volume, you may observe some warning messages which can be ignored safely.
