[SSSD] more_info for authz_provider?

This relates to ticket #196

"We are changing the configuration file format of the SSSD to something 
more readable. The format is described at SSSDConfVer2"

SSSDConfVer2 contains
# Possible overrides
# id_provider = local
# auth_provider = local
# authz_provider = local
# passwd_provider = local

I'm assuming auth = authentication and authz = authorization
None of the other domain definitions provide or allow for an authz 
override. This might be perfectly logical - if you're using an ldap back 
end then authz occurs via ldap and that's all?

I'm also curious to know if this example file is still up to date. There 
seems to be a limited use of proxy entries. Is the NIS example domain as 
extensive as it might be?

thanks for any help and explanations.
