Feature #313142, revision 1
Title: YaST support only SSSD for LDAP based authentication 
  
openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed
Priority 
    Requester: Mandatory 
 
Requested by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org 
 
Description: 
We should remove support for nss_ldap and pam_ldap configuration from the YaST 
ldap-client module (note: this is not a request to remove nss_ldap and pam_ldap 
from the distribution) and only support SSSD for LDAP based users 
authentication. The nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages should still be part of 
future distribution to still allow manual setup.

When updating an nss-/pam_ldap based system from an older release it should 
stay with nss-/pam_ldap. Upon first startup of yast2-ldap-client it might offer 
a migration to sssd. 
 
Business case (Partner benefit): 
openSUSE.org: Focussing on a single implementation for LDAP authentication 
allows us to provide a cleaner UI and should reduce the complexity of the YaST 
ldap-client module considerably. Making it easier to use and maintain.
