Running tpm2-abrmd with dbus-daemon ...

[jbmukund]

Hi,

I have an embedded Linux os that does not use dbus. instead, it has its own IPC mechanism.
When I tried to run tpm2-abrmd on it, I get the below error.

Is it possible to run tpm2-abrmd on a system with no dbus-daemon running?

tpm2-abrmd --allow-root

** (process:4228): WARNING **: tcti_conf before: "(NULL)"
** (tpm2-abrmd:4228): WARNING **: tcti_conf after: "device:/dev/tpm0"

Thanks,

No, abrmd requires dbus to communicate with clients.
