Hi Christian,

We host our database on CentOS 7, these are the only three sebool that
are set to on mentioning postgresql

postgresql_selinux_unconfined_dbadm --> on
postgresql_selinux_users_ddl --> on
selinuxuser_postgresql_connect_enabled --> on

I don't recall having to change anything during the initial install to
get it working though.

run

getsebool -a | grep postgresql

to compare.
