"NAME"
failsafe_context - The SELinux fail safe context configuration file .
"DESCRIPTION"
The failsafe_context file allows SELinux-aware applications such as PAM "(8) " to obtain a known valid login context for an administrator if no valid default entries can be found elsewhere. selinux_failsafe_context_path "(3) " will return the active policy path to this file. The default failsafe context file is: Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). The following functions read this file from the active policy path if they cannot obtain a default context:

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) "

.
"FILE FORMAT"
The file consists of a single line entry as follows:

role:type[:range]

Where:

role type range

A role, type and optional range (for MCS/MLS), separated by colons (:) to form a valid login process context for an administrator to access the system.
