Title: #144: SSSD does not start if using only the local provider and services line is
empty
jhrozek commented:
"""
I think we need to decide how we solve the local provider auto-enablement. Currently my
idea (which is not in the current files provider PR, I still need to respin that one..) is
that there would be a configure-time option that the distribution will use to tell if SSSD
should auto-start the files provider even if not configured. I think this would be useful,
because even though Fedora would enable the files provider starting with F-26 (hopefully),
there are other distributions as well which might not agree. And especially with
responders that don't require any domain to be set up (secrets, kcm) it is perfectly
valid to run SSSD but not have SSSD manage any user accounts.
So in short, I think there is a value in this patch set. At the same time, I would
appreciate to wait with pushing the patch for a day or two until I finally respin the
files provider. I'd like to finish the respin today -- I'm sorry it took a bit
longer than I thought, I was slowed down yesterday by cherry-picking some patches from the
KCM branch to unblock pbrezina.
