I am new to writing policies and have been reading the reference policy files. I wrote a simple TCP server that listens on a port for connections. I would like to write a policy that will only allow my program to bind to a specific port(9999). I looked at the reference policy and see that the ports that programs are allowed to use is in policy/modules/kernel/corenetwork.te. My questions is, can I specify the port in my programs type enforcement file so that I can make a module instead of listing this in the kernel policy? If so, what would the syntax be?
portcon is only valid in the base module, not a normal loadable module. The command to generate the port entry for the policy is semanage. It should look something like the following:
semanage port -a -t my_port_t -p tcp 9999
