I'm trying to set up SSL on a Fedora 22 -server running HAProxy. Here's the config (/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
):
global
log 127.0.0.1 local2
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid
maxconn 4000
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
tune.ssl.default-dh-param 2048
defaults
log global
mode http
option httplog
option dontlognull
option http-server-close
option forwardfor
option redispatch
retries 3
timeout http-request 10s
timeout queue 1m
timeout connect 10s
timeout client 1m
timeout server 1m
timeout http-keep-alive 10s
timeout check 10s
frontend main
bind *:80
bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/certificate.pem
redirect scheme https if !{ ssl_fc }
default_backend app
backend app
balance roundrobin
server app1 127.0.0.1:8000 check
Now, when I run systemctl restart haproxy && journalctl -u haproxy.service -f
, I get this error:
Sep 13 15:39:31 fedora-server systemd[1]: Started HAProxy Load Balancer.

Sep 13 15:39:31 fedora-server haproxy-systemd-wrapper[15620]: haproxy-systemd-wrapper: exit, haproxy RC=256
Here's the service config:
# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/haproxy.service
[Unit]
Description=HAProxy Load Balancer
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/haproxy
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/haproxy-systemd-wrapper -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid $OPTIONS
ExecReload=/bin/kill -USR2 $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
However, I can copy the command that the service attempts to run, and it works fine.
First, this works, when I run it manually (taken from service config):
# whoami
root
# /usr/sbin/haproxy-systemd-wrapper -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid
This also works (taken from service logs, apparently haproxy-systemd-wrapper
runs this:
# whoami
root
# /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid -Ds
To clarify: when I run either of these commands manually as root, they work and I can access my site via SSL.
So, I'm assuming when ran as a service HAProxy isn't able to read the certificate.
Here's what I've tried so far:
chown haproxy:haproxy /etc/haproxy/certificate.pem
- Switching user and group to root in
haproxy.cfg
- Adding
User=root
andGroup=root
to service configuration under[Service]
sudo -u haproxy /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -p /run/haproxy.pid -Ds
gives a different error (regarding ports), so most likely user haproxy isn't used by the service, otherwise would get further
I can access the file as user haproxy, sudo -u haproxy cat /etc/haproxy/certificate.pem
.
Edit:
Here's the updated service config based on your answer:
[Unit]
Description=HAProxy Load Balancer
After=syslog.target network.target
SELinuxContext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0
What happens now:
Sep 13 17:51:21 ServiceName systemd[1]: Starting HAProxy Load Balancer...
Sep 13 17:51:21 ServiceName systemd[1]: haproxy.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
Sep 13 17:51:21 ServiceName systemd[1]: Unit haproxy.service entered failed state.
Sep 13 17:51:21 ServiceName systemd[1]: haproxy.service failed.
How I got the value for SELinuxContext
:
# ls -lZ /etc/haproxy/certificate.pem
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 9245 Sep 13 17:43 /etc/haproxy/certificate.pem
Thanks for the reply! I tried it out, with no luck, see the edit. – Martti Laine – 2015-09-13T17:54:32.083
Actually, might have got it by doing something (last thing I did was restorecon for the certificate). Can test properly after a DNS update, so will comment after that. – Martti Laine – 2015-09-13T18:17:50.033

SELinuxContext=
belongs to the[Service]
section, by the way. – user1686 – 2015-09-13T18:44:25.993
