SELinux is preventing the httpd_sys_script_t domain from using /dev/log

Issue

We are using a RewriteMap program for the Apache web server running under the httpd_sys_script_t domain:

RewriteMap token_authorization prg:/custom/bin/apache_token_authorization.sh

The script contains logger lines for logging activity. Unfortunately, SELinux prevents the httpd_sys_script_t domain from use the /dev/log socket:
