Before installing antivirus software on Avaya Aura® Device Services, you must ensure that the SELinux kernel security module operates in the permissive mode.
Before you begin
In OVA-based deployments, contact Avaya support personnel to configure the root password. Avaya Aura® Device Services does not have root access by default in ova-based deployments.
Procedure
Log in to the Avaya Aura® Device Services CLI as follows:
In OVA-based deployments, log in as an administrator, and then switch to the root user using the following command:
su root
In software-only deployments, log in as the root user.
To set the SELinux mode to permissive, run the following command:
setenforce 0
Open SELinux configuration file /etc/selinux/config in a text editor.
Set the value of the SELINUX parameter to permissive.
SELINUX=permissive
Warning:
Ensure that permissive is properly spelled. Misspelling the setting value can case kernel panic issues.
Save the file.
To reboot Avaya Aura® Device Services, run the following command:
reboot
To verify the SELinux configuration, do the following:
Log in to the Avaya Aura® Device Services CLI as an administrator.
Run the following command:
sestatus
Ensure that Avaya Aura® Device Services displays permissive in the command output.
