                       === SSSD 1.11.6 ===

The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 1.11.6 of
the System Security Services Daemon.

As always, the source is available from https://fedorahosted.org/sssd

RPM packages will be made available for Fedora 19 and 20 shortly.

== Feedback ==

Please provide comments, bugs and other feedback via the sssd-devel
or sssd-users mailing lists:
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-devel
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-users

== Highlights ==

* This release focuses on delivering bug fixes and a subset of the DBus
  interface from 1.12.
* A new responder, called InfoPipe was added. This responder provides a
  public D-Bus interface accessible over the system bus. In this release,
  only methods for retrieving user attributes and list of groups were
  added. The full interface is being developed in the 1.12 series. The
  primary consumer if this interface subset are Apache modules such as
  mod_lookup_identity or mod_intercept_form_submit
* Fixed bug in the AD responder that caused crashes when authenticating
  as a user from a trusted domain to a system enrolled to a trusted
  domain other than the forest root
* A potential crash on timeout in the autofs client library was fixed.
* Several patches that improve portability of SSSD, especially with
  consideration of BSD systems have been included

== Packaging Changes ==

* The InfoPipe responder is packaged in its own subpackage 

== Documentation Changes ==

* The new InfoPipe responder has several configuration options. Refer to
  the sssd-ifp manual page for details.
* The LDAP provider has a new option ldap_user_extra_attrs that enables the
  administrator to extend the map of attributes downloaded when looking up
  a user. These custom attributes can then be retrieved with the new DBus API.
* A new pam_sss option ignore_authinfo_unavail was added. Setting this
  option makes pam_sss return PAM_IGNORE when SSSD is not running instead
  of PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL. This option is mostly useful for BSD systems.
