SSSD Identity Backend

Registered by Adam Young

PAM only provides a limited set of the behavior required for an Identity backend. The system security services daemon (SSSD) provides far more features. It already can handle the LDAP mappings, as well as multiple LDAP backends.

Whiteboard

(morganfainberg): This is something that should be discussed at the Kilo summit when talking about making the LDAP backend significantly better.

(stevemar): this seems done, we have support for LDAP and SSSD can be used via federation and external auth. there are no new plans to include additional identity backends. further, we should use the new spec repo for new features.
