SUBDOMAIN.CONF(5) AppArmor SUBDOMAIN.CONF(5)NAME
/etc/apparmor/subdomain.conf - configuration file for fine-tuning the behavior of the AppArmor security tool.
DESCRIPTION
The AppArmor security tool can be configured to have certain default behaviors based on configuration options set in subdomain.conf. There
are two variables that can be set in subdomain.conf: SUBDOMAIN_PATH, and SUBDOMAIN_MODULE_PANIC.
SUBDOMAIN_PATH
This variable accepts a string (path), and is by default set to '/etc/apparmor.d/' This variable defines where the AppArmor security tool
looks for its policy definitions (a.k.a. AppArmor profiles).
SUBDOMAIN_MODULE_PANIC
This variable accepts a string that is one of four values: warn, build, panic, or build-panic, and is set by default to warn.
This setting controls the behavior of the AppArmor initscript if it cannot successfully load the AppArmor kernel module on startup. The
four possible settings are:
warn
Log a failure message (the default behavior).
build
Attempt to build the AppArmor module against the currently running kernel. If the compilation is successful, the module will be loaded
and AppArmor started; if the compilation fails, a failure message is logged.
panic
Log a failure message and drop to runlevel 1 (single user).
build-panic
Attempt to build the module against the running kernel (like build) and if the compilation fails, drop to runlevel 1 (single user).
BUGS
Setting the initscript to recompile the module will fail on SUSE, as the module source is no longer installed by default. However, the
module has been included with the SUSE kernel, so no rebuilding should be necessary.
