I do know that I had to use the semanage command to allow my web server to accept incoming connection on a non-standard port, as otherwise SELinux was blocking it. And I know it's to apply security policies that are independant of account priviledges (so even if someone compromises root, SELinux will protect your system - but then again as root you can change SELinux settings can't you?). I hope to learn more about it. For now I don't have time. I do know that you can re-enable it after the plugin is installed (and requires a reboot to restart SELinux) and it will continue to work.
