Abstract
A mechanism for applying security category labels to multi-tenant applications of a node in a PaaS environment is disclosed. A method of embodiments includes receiving, by a virtual machine (VM) executing on a computing device, a custom security type label (STL) and a custom security policy associated with the custom STL, the custom STL and associated custom security policy applied to one or more multi-tenant applications executed by the VM. The method further include receiving a request to initialize an application on the VM, the request identifying the custom STL as an STL to apply to the application, assigning a local UID maintained by the VM to the application, recording a mapping of the assigned local UID to the custom STL, assigning the custom STL to files of the application, and assigning the custom STL to a running process of the application.
