Symptoms

You can observe the following avc error logs when the gtmd process tries to interact with internal FIPS card for DNSSEC key and signature creation: type=AVC msg=audit(1662044427.707:3960): avc: denied { create } for pid=39483 comm="gtmd" scontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_route_socket type=AVC msg=audit(1662044427.709:3961): avc: denied { search } for pid=39483 comm="gtmd" name="gtmd" dev="dm-20" ino=188725 scontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:svc_svc_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1662044428.113:3962): avc: denied { create } for pid=39483 comm="gtmd" scontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_route_socket type=AVC msg=audit(1662044428.114:3963): avc: denied { search } for pid=39483 comm="gtmd" name="gtmd" dev="dm-20" ino=188725 scontext=system_u:system_r:gtmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:svc_svc_t:s0 tclass=dir
