failsafe_context(5)	     SELinux configuration	   failsafe_context(5)

NAME
       failsafe_context - The SELinux fail safe context configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  failsafe_context  file  allows  SELinux-aware applications such as
       PAM(8) to obtain a known valid login context for an administrator if no
       valid default entries can be found elsewhere.

       selinux_failsafe_context_path(3)	 will return the active policy path to
       this file. The default failsafe context file is:
	      /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/failsafe_context

       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the  selinux  configuration  file
       config (see selinux_config(5)).

       The  following  functions read this file from the active policy path if
       they cannot obtain a default context:
	      get_default_context(3)
	      get_ordered_context_list(3)
	      get_ordered_context_list_with_level(3)
	      get_default_context_with_level(3)
	      get_default_context_with_role(3)
	      get_default_context_with_rolelevel(3)
	      query_user_context(3)
	      manual_user_enter_context(3)

FILE FORMAT
       The file consists of a single line entry as follows:
	      role:type[:range]

       Where:
	      role type range
		     A role, type and optional range (for MCS/MLS),  separated
		     by	 colons	 (:) to form a valid login process context for
		     an administrator to access the system.

EXAMPLE
       # ./contexts/failsafe_context
       unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0
