polyinstantiation_enabled vs allow_polyinstantiation

[Iker Pedrosa]

Hi,

I would like to know what's the difference between the two booleans provided in the title. Is there any documentation that I could check? Is any of them needed when I'd like to have poly-instantiated directories with SELinux in enforcing mode?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the link but I'm afraid that it doesn't explain what's the
difference between the two booleans.

Hi Iker,
polyinstantiation_enabled is used in selinux-policy in Fedora whereas
allow_polyinstantiation is in refpolicy. The content is not completely the
same, but is similar.
Fedora policy used to be based on refpolicy, but they started to diverge
quite some time ago.
