Subject: [PATCH] SELINUX: Also call is_selinux_enabled as a check for selinux
 child
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Resolves:
https://pagure.io/SSSD/sssd/issue/3796

The SSSD selinux management routines were only checking if SELinux is
managed on the system. If it is managed, the code tries to proceed and
set the login context, otherwise an error is returned which SSSD handles
gracefully.

But this is not enough, in some cases SELinux might be disabled, but
managed and in these cases SSSD was returning strange errors, which
might have prevented login with selinux provider in effect.

We got this hint form the RH SELinux maintainer:
"""
libsemanage is for managing SELinux infrastructure. generally if there's
/etc/selinux/config where libsemanage can read SELINUXTYPE and SELinux
module store - /etc/selinux/<SELINUXTYPE>/active (or
/var/lib/selinux/<SELINUXTYPE>/active) - is available, libsemanage can
manage it even when SELinux is disabled.

I'm not sure if selinux_child doesn any is_selinux_enabled() checks but
it could help to avoid such situations.
