Oracle and SElinux

Girish SharmaSep 16 2013 — edited Oct 1 2013

Hi,

After enough Google and doc search and email discussion I think now I should raise the question here. My question is when we install oracle software on Linux we have to disable selinux to avoid unnecessary errors why it is so, I mean why oracle is not happy with selinux enabled Linux. As such I am not in that situation where I am having problem with selinux but have doubt that is it not something we are going to disable the Linux's provided security which secures the server at kernel level.

Please share your valuable thoughts and if I wish to have full enabled selinux with oracle database software is that possible or not because I think selinux is the security which secure s whole Linux server and when my server is secure my db is also secure.

Thanks and Regards

Girish Sharma
