I'm attaching the patch to this mail for the people that cannot access 
the website and FTR.

Patch

From c8aa69e51d8781da782a50dbdf20b258288093d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Laurent Bigonville <bigon@bigon.be>
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 12:25:13 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] Allow the user cronjobs to run in their userdomain

When cron_userdomain_transition boolean is set to on, the user cronjobs
are supposed to run in their domains. Without this patch the default
context is not properly computed:

    $ /usr/sbin/getdefaultcon user_u system_u:system_r:crond_t:s0
    /usr/sbin/getdefaultcon: Invalid argument
    $ /usr/sbin/getdefaultcon staff_u system_u:system_r:crond_t:s0
    staff_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0

With this patch applied:

    $ /usr/sbin/getdefaultcon user_u system_u:system_r:crond_t:s0
    user_u:user_r:user_t:s0
    $ /usr/sbin/getdefaultcon staff_ system_u:system_r:crond_t:s0
    staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0
