Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 
Chapter 22. Enhancing security with the kernel integrity subsystem

Describe the issue: 
The document describes basics of IMA/EVM with some examples but fails to mention notable implementation short-comings such as EVM not being enabled on boot even after setting it up according to the document.

It looks like IMA/EVM would need more work to be ready for production use with RHEL however the document gives impression IMA/EVM has no support limitations.

Suggestions for improvement: 
Clarify what features of IMA/EVM are fully supported on RHEL (if any) and what are Tech Preview or Unsupported.

Additional information: 
I've created Ansible role to setup IMA/EVM which might be helpful for testing and verifying IMA/EVM setups, see https://github.com/myllynen/rhel-ansible-roles/tree/master/roles/ima_evm_setup.
