ready is one inactive profile in your local repository, you are asked whether you would
like to use the existing inactive one from
/etc/apparmor/profiles/extras
and whether you want to base your efforts on it. If you decide to use this profile, it gets
copied over to the directory of profiles enabled by default (
/etc/apparmor.d
) and
loaded whenever AppArmor is started. Any further further adjustments will be done to
the active profile under
/etc/apparmor.d
.
2.5 Using the External AppArmor
Profile Repository
In addition to the profiles shipping with openSUSE, AppArmor supports the use of an
external profile repository. This repository is maintained by Novell and allows you to
download profiles generated by Novell and other AppArmor users as well as uploading
your own. Find the profile repository at
http://apparmor.opensuse.org
.
NOTE: Using the AppArmor Profile Repository
When using the profile repository in your deployment, bear in mind that the
profiles maintained in the repository are primarily targeted at profile developers
and might probably need fine-tuning before they suit your particular needs.
Please test the downloaded profiles extensively before deploying them to your
live setup and adjust them if necessary.
The profile repository serves two main purposes:
1. Allow users to browse profiles created by other users and pull them from the
server to use on their own systems.
2. Allow users to upload their profiles to be able to easily use them on different ma-
chines.
A valid login on the profile repository server is required for uploading profiles. Just
downloading profiles from the server does not require a login.
