+ <para>GPO policy settings are commonly used to manage
+ host-based access control in an AD environment. The two
+ specific GPO policy settings ("Allow Log On Locally" and "Deny
+ Log On Locally") essentially serve as a whitelist and blacklist
+ of domain users and groups and they are consulted to determine
+ whether logon access to a particular domain computer should be
+ granted. When dealing with GPOs, there is typically a
+ management piece (used to specify the policy settings) and a
+ client-side processing piece (used to retrieve and enforce the
+ policy settings). Since the two policy settings of interest
+ already exist in AD, administrators can continue to use
+ existing mechanisms to specify the whitelist and blacklist
+ (e.g. Group Policy Management Console, or GPMC). As such, this
+ change is related only to the retrieval and enforcement of
+ policy settings. This change only affects SSSD's AD provider.
+ It has no effect on any other SSSD providers (e.g. IPA
+ provider).</para>
