Introduction

SELinux Policy IDE (SLIDE) is an integrated development environment for SELinux developed by Tresys Technology. Some basic features of SLIDE include:

• Graphical user interface for policy development
• Integration with Reference Policy
• Project creation wizards
• Auto-completion of interface names
• Policy syntax highlighting
• Easily compile and build module packages
• Hook into standard Eclipse search
• Basic refactoring features including adding and removing ifdef, optional and tunable blocks
• Integrated remote policy installation and audit log monitoring

SLIDE supports both modular and monolithic policy development, and is built as a plugin to the Eclipse SDK.

The goal of the SLIDE project is to make policy development for SELinux easier.
