Announcing SSSD 1.9.0 beta 3
by Stephen Gallagher
The SSSD is proud to announce the third of five preview releases of
version 1.9 of the System Security Services Daemon.
Beta 4 will be released on July 10th and include a new AD provider
(wrapping the intricacies of setting up AD, configuring LDAP attributes
and Kerberos realm into a simpler set of configuration options)
Beta 5 will be released on July 31st and will contain a new tool for
"seeding" accounts with a temporary password for sending machines to
remotees as well as introducing a concept of primary vs. secondary
servers.
After Beta 5, no new features will be added to SSSD 1.9.0 and we will
focus on stability and our backlog of bugfixes until the final release
around September 1st. We will most likely issue a series of release
candidate builds prior to that, but these have not yet been scheduled.

BUILD: Change default unicode library to glib2
by Stephen Gallagher
There is no longer any real advantage to building against libunistring
by default. This patch switches SSSD's build to use glib2 instead, which
will exist already on all platforms that SSSD is known to compile on.
This will eliminate an extra dependency on libunistring and save space
on capacity-limited systems.

[PATCH] Fix re_expression matching with subdomains
by Jan Zelený
This patch fixes an issue which resulted in a need to initialize
responder with data from local domain, otherwise it would not correctly
detect requests for subdomains. Similar situation can occur if new
subdomain is added at runtime.
The solution is to ask for a list of subdomains in case there is a
candidate domain identified in the process of matching re_expressions
with given name.
Thanks

[PATCH] Try to build PAC responder only if all dependencies are available
by Sumit Bose
Hi,
as Stephen found out the provided spec file cannot be used to build sssd
with the PAC responder on RHEL5, because samba4 is not available here.
This patch takes care that samba4 is not required on RHEL5 and the PAC
responder only builds if all dependencies are met, even with
--enable-all-experimental-features or similar set.
bye,
Sumit
