TDV Installer Security
TDV supports security for both silent and interactive installation.
TDV installers running in the UI or console mode do not store clear text passwords in any log files. The database administrator password for the repository is not stored.
The TDV installer installs a PostgreSQL database.
Configuring Security Enhanced Linux Environments
All Redhat OS Linux variants that have SELinux support can utilize it enabled (i.e. SELinux = enabled). If one wants to run TDV and/or Business Directory with SELinux enabled then an appropriate security policy that allows read/write access to the TDV installation directory and TDV ports is required before installation.
SELinux configuration file is located under /etc/selinux/config.
To configure SE Linux environments
1. Login as root on your Linux instance.
2. Run /usr/sbin/sestatus to validate your setting for SELinux.
3. If SELinux=enabled then you will need to make sure the following is part of your security policy.
a. TDV installation directory (TDV and/or Business Directory) must have read and write privileges on that directory and all files/directories underneath.
b. TDV ports (refer to Installation Guide "Port Requirements" section regarding what ports to allow)
