Dear Stephen ,
Many thanks for the detailed information , it has been very useful .
Infact I have tested your steps in a similar environment (CentOS 6.10 ,
see versions below) as of yours in a Virtual machine based on
Virtualbox , I have reached to the step where the *selinux module is
installed* on doing the range transition to enforce httpd to run on
s4-s5:c1,c2 .
Unfortunately I still see the range transition denied errors in the
audit logs (After installing the selinux module) and I do not see any
errors related to *httpd trying to perform writes* on various
directories/files that are labeled s0 as per your explanation .
Kindly see the details below

This is the problem - you switched levels before running run_init.
And run_init tries to do an explicit transition to the context
configured in /etc/selinux/$SELINUXTYPE/contexts/initrc_context. Just
leave your shell in s0-s15:c0.1023, and let the range_transition rule
handle transitioning httpd into s4-s5:c1,c2 for you automatically.

I followed all your steps but not sure whether I have missed something
which I still couldn't point out
Also regarding the constraint rules , now I understand how it works
after your explanation about the httpd process running in the sshd_t
domain :) . So therefore I have installed the SRC rpm to see the types
for mlsfileread attribute to understand how it works .
[root@msc-ishara-system1 serefpolicy-3.7.19]# cd
/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/serefpolicy-3.7.19
[root@msc-ishara-system1 serefpolicy-3.7.19]# grep -ir 'mlsfileread'
./tmp/all_te_files.conf | grep -v toclr | sed -e 's/typeattribute//g' |
sed -e 's/mlsfileread//g' | sed -e 's/attribute//g' | grep -i ssh
* sshd_t ;*
So in that case If i have understood it right , I need to run the httpd
process in a domain (type) which does NOT belong to the 'mlsfileread'
attribute right ? Can we have it done using the same "httpdtrans.te"
file you shared ?
Just getting it running in httpd_t would suffice. Or you could just run
the equivalent test for your own custom network daemon running in user_t
or any other domains that doesn't have mlsfileread.
