Hi

I am trying to find out how th sssd cache is being populated.

I couldn’t find much about it so I did some tests.

It seems that with enumerate = true, the cache holds all the information needed as soon as sssd is started.

With enumerate = false, the cache holds information about someone only after his first connection.

Is that right ?

I would like to be sure that user’s passwords are stored in the cache but couldn’t find any way to verify this

With sssctl user-show  I can find if a user is in the cache but with no details.

With sssctl user-checks I get some information about the user but nothing about the password.

By examining directly the cache with ldbsearch I don’t find any password information either, only maybe shadowLastChange: with a number which I don’t understand.

Is there any documentation about the cache management ?

 

Regards

Philippe
