18.0 Getting Started

Prepare a successful deployment of Novell AppArmor on your system by carefully considering the following items:

  1. Determine the applications to profile. Read more on this in Section 18.3, Choosing the Applications to Profile.

  2. Build the needed profiles as roughly outlined in Section 18.4, Building and Modifying Profiles. Check the results and adjust the profiles when necessary.

  3. Keep track of what is happening on your system by running AppArmor reports and dealing with security events. Refer to Section 18.5, Configuring Novell AppArmor Event Notification and Reports.

  4. Update your profiles whenever your environment changes or you need to react to security events logged by AppArmor's reporting tool. Refer to Section 18.6, Updating Your Profiles.
