## Feedback
Please provide comments, bugs and other feedback via the sssd-devel
or sssd-users mailing lists:

## Highlights
### General information
* The proxy provider is now able to handle certificate mapping and
matching rules and users handled by the proxy provider can be configured
for local Smartcard authentication. Besides the mapping rule local
Smartcard authentication should be enabled with the 'local_auth_policy'
option in the backend and with 'pam_cert_auth' in the PAM responder.
### Important fixes
Passkey doesn't fail when using FreeIPA server-side authentication and
require-user-verification=false.
### New features
* When adding a new credential to KCM and the user has already reached
their limit, the oldest expired credential will be removed to free some
space. If no expired credential is found to be removed, the operation
will fail as it happened in the previous versions.
Hi!
It is a great pleasure to announce a devroom dedicated to Identity and
Access Management at FOSDEM 2024. The last devroom at FOSDEM dedicated to
this topic was in 2018 and we would like to replicate that success.
Original FOSDEM CfP below.
I think there are enough interesting developments and uses of SSSD in
different environments that it is worth presenting at this event.
Consider submitting a talk proposal if you are planning to attend FOSDEM!
Deadline is December 1st, 2023.
