Current Status and New Policy Development

There had been some intention to work on building policy modules for use with Shibboleth 2.x, but the interest in this waned as SELinux adoption lagged. If that changes, it's likely that demand for such a policy will increase, and of course we welcome any contributions.

At the present time, we do not support the SP in conjunction with SELinux, and at minimum we know that communication between the mod_shib and shibd components will fail if it's enabled. Other problems may also occur. We strongly therefore suggest that during any initial setup or testing, that SELinux be left disabled or in permissive mode, and we don't officially support the SP's use with it enabled.

There had been some intention to work on building policy modules for use with Shibboleth 2.x, but the interest in this waned as SELinux adoption lagged and there are no developers on the project with the necessary expertise. We welcome assistance from the community, but it would require a commitment to maintain such a deliverable as new releases are done.
