1--- What is AppArmor? ---
2
3AppArmor is MAC style security extension for the Linux kernel. It implements
4a task centered policy, with task "profiles" being created and loaded
5from user space. Tasks on the system that do not have a profile defined for
6them run in an unconfined state which is equivalent to standard Linux DAC
7permissions.
8
9--- How to enable/disable ---
10
11set CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y
12
13If AppArmor should be selected as the default security module then
14 set CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY="apparmor"
15 and CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
16
17Build the kernel
18
19If AppArmor is not the default security module it can be enabled by passing
20security=apparmor on the kernel's command line.
21
22If AppArmor is the default security module it can be disabled by passing
23apparmor=0, security=XXXX (where XXX is valid security module), on the
24kernel's command line
25
26For AppArmor to enforce any restrictions beyond standard Linux DAC permissions
27policy must be loaded into the kernel from user space (see the Documentation
28and tools links).
