Linux Security 64 Failed to Activate in SELinux (Permissive Mode)

Issue:

Linux Security 64 failed to activate with error message "SELinux integration for F-Secure Linux Security 64 is supported only with the
'targeted' policy on this system (detected policy: '').

Installation is successful. 

Resolution:

Root cause is due to missing "SELINUXTYPE=targeted"

Example from /etc/selinux/config

# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
#     targeted – Targeted processes are protected,
#     minimum – Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
#     mls – Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Note that SELINUX can be any value, but SELINUXTYPE must be set to "targeted".

Reinstallation is required after fixing the value. 

  1. Uninstall Linux Security 64
  2. Remove Linux Security folders (rm -rf /opt/f-secure /etc/opt/f-secure /var/opt/f-secure)
  3. Add SELINUXTYPE=targeted to the config file /etc/selinux/config
  4. Reboot system (recommended)
  5. Install Linux Security 64
