The SSSD team is proud to announce the fourth of six preview releases
of
version 1.9 of the System Security Services Daemon.
We added a new Beta release, called Beta 5, and renamed the previous Beta
5 to Beta 6. Beta 5 will be released next week, tentatively scheduled for
next Tuesday, July 17th. This release will include several fixes that
the FreeIPA project needs for their next release.
Beta 6 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 6, 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.

== Highlights ==
* Add a new AD provider to improve integration with Active Directory
2008 R2 or later servers
If someone has time and energy please test with AD 2003 R2 ..
I think there are still many environments running AD 2003 because earlier
there was incompatibilities with Linux/ESXi/others with AD 2008
so 2003 was the more safe version for hybrid environments.
