System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) MIR
The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) is a service which provides access to different identity and authentication providers. You can configure SSSD to use a native LDAP domain (that is, an LDAP identity provider with LDAP authentication), or an LDAP identity provider with Kerberos authentication. It provides an NSS and PAM interface to the system, and a pluggable back-end system to connect to multiple different account sources. SSSD is also extensible; you can configure it to use new identity sources and authentication mechanisms should they arise. In addition, SSSD is fully IPv6-compatible. Canonical's support services would like this package moved from Universe to Main in response to needs expressed by Ubuntu Server users.

Whiteboard
Upstream plans to release 1.8.0 beta by early February (final mid March), as it's targeted for F17/RHEL 6.3 and is the next "Long Term Maintenance" branch (like 1.5.x was). We should probably aim for getting that version. -- tjaalton
