Configure the operating system to verify correct operation of all security functions.
Set the "SELinux" status and the "Enforcing" mode by modifying the "/etc/selinux/config" file to have the following line:
SELINUX=enforcing
Restart the system for the changes to take effect.
Note: At lower classification levels (CUI, Secret) where vast amounts of data are processed and a performance impact is occurring, an authorizing official can consider this requirement not applicable.
Confirm that TOSS verifies the correct operation of all security functions.
Determine if "SELinux" is active and in "Enforcing" mode using the following command:
$ sudo getenforce
Enforcing
If "SELinux" is not active or not in "Enforcing" mode, this is a finding.
