Title: #408: Backport of PR#275 to SSSD-1.14
akamensky commented:
"""
I understand that it would be good to keep new functionality only in new versions. And in
any other situation I would that the same.
However since the main patch comes from my business needs (actually my employers needs)
and those needs require us using the same approach across wide variety of existing systems
which include EL6 based systems as well as Ubuntu16.04/14.04 and Debian and Amazon Linux,
I need to make it work on those systems. Also note many of our new coming customers still
require el6 for legacy reasons. And I cannot keep maintaining self compiled packages over
a long period of time. Thus it would be perfect (in my situation) if these could be
backported to maintenance branches.
