Feature changed by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) Feature #310176, revision 10 Title: Switch to sssd for LDAP/Kerberos authentication openSUSE-11.4: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) Developer: (Novell) Description: Because of the various issues we face with nss_ldap/pam_ldap (see e.g. bug#477061, bug#157078 and others) and because of the added value sssd gives us (e.g. offline support, integrated kerberos support). We should change yast2-ldap-client to configure sssd instead of nss_ldap/pam_ldap/pam_kerberos. sssd packages are already available for 11.3. We still need to add support for it in pam-config.

The YaST part is tracked in fate#308902. #4: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-07-20 11:01:40) (reply to #1) Correction pam-config instead of pam_ldap since pam_ldap does not need to be changed. + #7: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) (2010-09-09 15:34:07) (reply to #4) + sssd support has now been implemented in pam-config (starting with + Version 0.77) #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-07-20 09:40:20) It also tracks changes in glibc to fix bnc#621454 and bnc#477061. #5: Bidossessi SODONON (bidossessi) (2010-08-05 17:32:41) Does this feature imply replacing both the LDAP client and Kerberos client modules with a single SSSD module in Yast? Would that be advisable for servers? #6: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) (2010-08-05 17:49:22) (reply to #5) It's far too early to talk about replacement in my view: while sssd sounds not too bad as of today, experience and code consolidation will show, if it is the right way for the future. We should include it in future versions for openSUSE to give it a real field testing before cutting the proven modules. + #8: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) (2010-09-09 15:35:15) (reply to #5) + Please note that the YaST related changes are tracked in fate#308902 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310176
