Setting up encrypted remote logging in auditd.conf causes AVC denial and auditd to fail

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Set up encrypted remote logging with Audit
  • Kerberos with auditd

  • AVC denials messages in auditd.log similar to:

    node=localhost.example.com type=AVC msg=audit(1635968387.295:5): avc:  denied  { add_name } for  pid=1490 comm="auditd" name="auditd_0" scontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1
node=localhost.example.com type=AVC msg=audit(1635968387.295:6): avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=1490 comm="auditd" name="auditd_0" scontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1
node=localhost.example.com type=AVC msg=audit(1635968387.296:7): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=1490 comm="auditd" path="/var/tmp/auditd_0" dev="dm-3" ino=33444911 scontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1
