Highlights
----------
* Several issues related to starting the SSSD services on-demand via
socket activation were fixed. In particular, it is no longer possible
to have a service started both by sssd and socket-activated. Another
bug which might have caused the responder to start before SSSD started
and cause issues especially on system startup was fixed.
* A new 'files' provider was added. This provider mirrors the contents
of '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/shadow' into the SSSD database. The purpose
/etc/group not /etc/shadow :-)
of this new provider is to make it possible to use SSSD's
interfaces,
such as the D-Bus interface for local users and enable leveraging the
in-memory fast cache for local users as well, as a replacement for `nscd`.
In future, we intend to extend the D-Bus interface to also provide setting
and retrieving additional custom attributes for the files users.
* SSSD now autogenerates a fallback configuration that enables the
files domain if no SSSD configuration exists. This allows distributions
to enable the 'sssd' service when the SSSD package is installed. Please
note that SSSD must be build with the configuration option
'--enable-files-domain' for this functionality to be enabled.
* Support for public-key authentication with Kerberos (PKINIT) was
added. This support will enable users who authenticate with a Smart Card
to obtain a Kerberos ticket during authentication.
