CompTIA Linux+: Managing SELinux

Security-enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a mandatory access control (MAC) solution where the Linux OS controls access to Linux resources such as files and network sockets. SELinux can be used to secure sensitive Linux stations.

In this course we will begin by covering SELinux terminology and components and see how it controls resource access in Linux. You will then see how to install SELinux on Ubuntu Linux. Finally you will learn to configure and manage SELinux security contexts including mapping Linux users to SELinux users to limit permissions.

This course can be used to prepare for the Linux+ XK0-005 certification exam.
