user_contexts(5)             SELinux configuration            user_contexts(5)

NAME
       user_contexts - The SELinux user contexts configuration files
DESCRIPTION
       These  optional  user  context configuration files contain entries that
       allow SELinux-aware login applications such as PAM(8) (running in their
       own  process context), to determine the context that a users login ses-
       sion should run under.
       SELinux-aware login applications generally use one or more of the  fol-
       lowing  libselinux functions that read these files from the active pol-
       icy path:
              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)
       There can be one file for each SELinux user configured on  the  system.
       The    file     path   is   formed   using   the   path   returned   by
       selinux_user_contexts_path(3) for the active policy, with  the  SELinux
       user name appended, for example:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/unconfined_u
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/xguest_u
       Where  {SELINUXTYPE}  is  the entry from the selinux configuration file
       config (see selinux_config(5)).
       These files contain context information as described in the FILE FORMAT
       section.
FILE FORMAT
       Each  line  in the user context configuration file consists of the fol-
       lowing:
              login_process user_login_process
       Where:
              login_process
                     This consists of a role:type[:range]  entry  that  repre-
                     sents the login process context.
              user_login_process
                     This  consists  of  a role:type[:range] entry that repre-
                     sents the user login process context.
