EX NO 2

AIM:

The aim is to configure SELinux to allow access to web content served from port 82 located in the /var/www/html directory without altering or removing any files in that directory.

PROCEDURE:

1. Check SELinux Status: Before making any changes, it's important to check the status of SELinux

2. Identify SELinux Context: Check the SELinux context of the /var/www/html directory to understand its current configuration

3. Set SELinux Context for Port 82: Since your web content is configured to be served from port 82, you need to update SELinux to allow access to this port.

4. Reload SELinux Policies: After making changes, it's essential to reload SELinux policies for the changes to take effect.

5. Verify Configuration: Verify that SELinux is now allowing access to port 82 and the /var/www/html directory.

6. Test Access: Finally, test access to your web content served from port 82 to ensure that SELinux is configured correctly and allowing access without any issues
