.SH "NAME"
user_contexts \- The SELinux user contexts configuration files
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
These optional user context configuration files contain entries that allow SELinux-aware login applications such as
.BR PAM (8)
(running in their own process context), to determine the context that a users login session should run under.
.sp
SELinux-aware login applications generally use one or more of the following libselinux functions that read these files from the active policy path:
.RS
.BR get_default_context (3)
.br
.BR get_ordered_context_list (3)
.br
.BR get_ordered_context_list_with_level (3)
.br
.BR get_default_context_with_level (3)
.br
.BR get_default_context_with_role (3)
.br
.BR get_default_context_with_rolelevel (3)
.br
.BR query_user_context (3)
.br
.BR manual_user_enter_context (3)
.RE
.sp
There can be one file for each SELinux user configured on the system. The file path is formed using the path returned by
.BR \%selinux_user_contexts_path (3)
for the active policy, with the SELinux user name appended, for example:
.RS
.I /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/unconfined_u
.br
.I /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/xguest_u
.RE
.sp
Where \fI{SELINUXTYPE}\fR is the entry from the selinux configuration file \fIconfig\fR (see \fBselinux_config\fR(5)).
.sp
These files contain context information as described in the
.B FILE FORMAT
section.
.
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
Each line in the user context configuration file consists of the following:
.RS
.I login_process user_login_process
.RE
.sp
Where:
.RS
.I login_process
.RS
This consists of a \fIrole\fB:\fItype\fR[\fB:\fIrange\fR] entry that represents the login process context.
.RE
.I user_login_process
.RS
This consists of a \fIrole\fB:\fItype\fR[\fB:\fIrange\fR] entry that represents the user login process context.
