This proposed patch is not changing the existing sssd/pam_sss behavior
if a domain in login is required or not. If the sssd
option "use_fully_qualified_names" is false (default) then both will
work. If set to true, the domain needs to be specified.
If the PAM service is using
domains=emea.example,hq.example.com and
someone tries to sneak in by authenticating with:
login(a)it.example.com ... this will not work. The sssd pam responder
code - with this patch applied - is intended to completely skip any
other domain which is not set by the domains= argument.
My concern is this -- if we are going to harden the list of domains
that will be used for authentication (or identity operations),
it would be good to find a way to also make it possible for the
application using the PAM stack to find out which domain (and thus
which identity) sssd actually used. So for "login", was it
"login(a)emea.example.com" or "login(a)hq.example.com" that was used?
Do we have a way to return the information to the application?
