Want to Help - qpid newbie
All,
Iam a qpid newbie and Iam hoping to contribute to the development on the C++/Java side mostly on Linux.
I was looking at the ACL/SeLinux integration tasks, could someone suggest if this would be an ideal starting task. I will be able to spend sometime preferably on weekends. Any directions on where to start or documentation would really be helpful.
I have experience in contributing to projects in sourceforge.
Thanks.
Kanthi.

Hello Kanthi,
I have some notes related to SELinux Userspace Object Managers that I'll
post tonight when I get a chance. It seems like every time I get a chance
to put together a model that I thin works, I find that I have to go
further "down the rabbit hole" so to speak to resolve some dependency.
For example - I was not aware that (at least with the current version of
SELinux) you have to modify the system's base policy to create models for
the various objects in userspace that you want to control. That's what
I'm working on at this point, determining the best way to do that.
In the meantime, I've found this to be a valuable resource:

Cheers,

Josh,
I just wanted to check if I can still get involved with the ACL integration task, I havent found anything else interesting and the roadmap or the Getting involved page also seems to be missing.
I would appreciate if you could direct me with any other tasks involving C++ and linux.
Regards,
Kanthi.

I'm actually looking at this again - the trick is understanding userspace
object managers, because there isn't a concise, easy to understand for
SELinux newbies example available. Debugging the policy itself as it
relates to OS-level objects (files, sockets, directories, etc.) is not as
difficult.
I think I've come up with a good example of a userspace object manager -
something that uses SELinux to apply security models to objects that exist
in a program itself. I'm going to work on this for a couple of days and
perhaps we can touch base then if you haven't found something else that
tickles your fancy.
Cheers,
-JK

Hi Josh,
Thx for your reply. Iam not an expert with the SELinux API, I
have looked at it before. I chose that because it sounded familiar and I
thot it would be easy to start with. If you can suggest anything better for
me, that will be great.
Thanks
Kanthi.

Hello Subramanian,
I started down the SELinux road last year and uploaded a preliminary plan
on JIRA - see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1838 . How much
do you know about implementing user object managers in SELinux?
Cheers,
-Josh
