How to enable EVM feature?

I want to enable IMA and EVM on an embedded device based on Debian.



I've installed evmctl (ima-evm-utils) on the machine.



The boot parameters related to IMA/EVM are:



ima_policy=tcb ima_appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix ima_hash=sha256 ima_template=ima-sig evm=fix


Creating IMA hashes via evmctl ima_hash -a sha256 <file> works fine and xattr "security.ima" shows some content.
Also creating IMA signature via evmctl ima_sign -k <keyfile> <file> produces some result.



If it comes to EVM it does not work as good.
If I use evmctl sign -o -k privkey_evm.pem test on the same file I get an error message:



setxattr failed: test
errno: Operation not permitted (1)


With strace I can see this error:



lsetxattr("test", "security.evm", "52 .... 234", 137, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "setxattr failed: testn", 22setxattr failed: test


The key in use was created using ima-genkey-self.sh from ima-evm-utils repository on SourceForge



I am running these commands as root. (Without root also IMA attributes cannot be set.)



I am not sure in which places to look for possible reasons for these failures.
