…6179) Issue: dirsrv-snmp service fails to starts when SELinux is enforced because of AVC preventing to open some files One workaround is to use the dac_override capability but it is a bad practice. Fix: Setting proper permissions: Running ldap-agent with uid=root and gid=dirsrv to be able to access both snmp and dirsrv resources. Setting read permission on the group for the dse.ldif file Setting r/w permissions on the group for the snmp semaphore and mmap file For that one special care is needed because ns-slapd umask overrides the file creation permission as is better to avoid changing the umask (changing umask within the code is not thread safe, and the current 0022 umask value is correct for most of the files) so the safest way is to chmod the snmp file if the needed permission are not set.

One workaround is to use the dac_override capability but it is a bad practice.
Fix: Setting proper permissions:
For that one special care is needed because ns-slapd umask overrides the file creation permission
as is better to avoid changing the umask (changing umask within the code is not thread safe,
and the current 0022 umask value is correct for most of the files) so the safest way is to chmod the snmp file
if the needed permission are not set.
