To avoid that, +\fIpam_selinux\&.so open\fR +should be placed after such modules in the PAM stack, and +\fIpam_selinux\&.so close\fR +should be placed before them\&. When such a placement is not feasible, +\fIpam_selinux\&.so restore\fR +could be used to temporary restore original security contexts\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +\fBopen\fR +.RS 4 +Only execute the open_session part of the module\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBclose\fR +.RS 4 +Only execute the close_session part of the module\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBrestore\fR +.RS 4 +In open_session part of the module, temporarily restore the security contexts as they were before the previous call of the module\&.

If MLS is on, obtain also sensitivity level\&. This option and the select_context option are mutually exclusive\&. The respective PAM environment variables are +\fISELINUX_ROLE_REQUESTED\fR, +\fISELINUX_LEVEL_REQUESTED\fR, and +\fISELINUX_USE_CURRENT_RANGE\fR\&. The first two variables are self describing and the last one if set to 1 makes the PAM module behave as if the use_current_range was specified on the command line of the module\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBuse_current_range\fR +.RS 4 +Use the sensitivity level of the current process for the user context instead of the default level\&.
