I'm planning change the default value of httpd_graceful_shutdown

Rawhide builds with this change will be available in ~5 days.
Together with Dan Walsh, we agreed on that httpd_graceful_shutdown
boolean should be by default turned off. This boolean allows HTTPD to
connect to port 80 for graceful shutdown, but it's breaking the
functionality of another boolean called: httpd_can_network_connect.
This boolean allows HTTPD scripts and modules to connect to the
network using TCP and it's turned off by default.
Turning this boolean off can cause some troubles, on web-servers where
processes with httpd_t SELinux domain connecting to tcp ports: 80, 81,
443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443, 9000
If you would like to turn in on again, use semanage command:
# semanage boolean -m --on httpd_graceful_shutdown
In FreeIPA we have httpd_can_network_connect enabled. I just checked a F26
system and I have both booleans enabled.
# getsebool -a|egrep 'httpd_graceful_shutdown|httpd_can_network_connect '
httpd_can_network_connect --> on
httpd_graceful_shutdown --> on
So I'm a bit confused: disabling httpd_graceful_shutdown will have or
wouldn't have an effect on httpd_can_network_connect being enabled?
httpd_graceful_shutdown is subset of httpd_can_network_connect.
Turning on httpd_graceful_shutdown you allow httpd_t domain connecting
just to ports labeled as httpd_port_t.
Turning on httpd_can_network_connect you allow httpd_t domain connecting
to all ports from SELinux POV.
Right now, we ship selinux-policy with httpd_graceful_shutdown turned on
and httpd_can_network_connect turned off. But it's confusing for users
because they have httpd_can_connect turned off but httpd_t domain can
still connect co http_port_t ports becuase of httpd_gracefull_shudown.
I hope it's more clear now.
Do I need to do anything in FreeIPA setup?
No if httpd_can_network_connect is enabled during FreeIPA setup, you
don't need to change anything.
