Secure global desktop, Linux Fedora 18 (or 20) and SELinux

2671128May 12 2014 — edited Jun 2 2014

I have to use Oracle secure global desktop to connect to the remote desktop at work.

Up to a few months ago I had no problems but then suddenly SGD first started complaining about a unsafe java-version.

After updating java, SGD said that I had to update the sgd-client. So I also upgraded the sgd-client.

One of my laptops was even updated to Fedora but als, I still can“t use the remote client.

After an attempt to connect to the remote desktop, it takes 2 minutes and then an alert pops up (Error - SGD Client Helper), telling me that it failed to install the SGD client.

At nearly the same time I receive a SELINUX warning.

The source process: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_55/bin/java

unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0_s):c0.c1023

Troubleshooting suggest to enter these commands:

# setsebool unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

# grep java /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol

# semodule -i mypol.pp

but this does not help. SGD still refuses to install a client.

A colleague uses Ubuntu and he claims that he got SGD working.

Does this mean that SGD can't work with SELinux?

DOes anybody have a suggestion on how to get SGD working on a 64-bit version of Linux?
