Description Nirupama Karandikar 2015-06-18 12:23:19 UTC
Description of problem:
man sssd.conf should clarify details about subdomain_inherit option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.12.4-46.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:

subdomain_inherit (string)
           Specifies a list of configuration parameters that should be inherited by a subdomain. Please note that only selected parameters can be inherited.

Expected results:

The man pages should clarify details about "subdomain_inherit" option.

The "subdomain_inherit" option works only with IPA server with AD trust setup. This option do not work with any other provider.

This wouldn't be correct. The option does what it says, it applies config options from main domain to a subdomain. The other issue is that not all subdomains respect all options equally and you're right we should come up with a better description. We'll come up with a better wording..

It's better to fix minor issues in RHEL-7 first.

Version sssd-1.14.0-27.el7.x86_64
Better description. Thanks! marking verified.

       subdomain_inherit (string)
           Specifies a list of configuration parameters that should be inherited by a subdomain. Please note that only selected parameters can be
           inherited. Currently the following options can be inherited:

           ignore_group_members

           ldap_purge_cache_timeout

           ldap_use_tokengroups

           ldap_user_principal

           ldap_krb5_keytab (the value of krb5_keytab will be used if ldap_krb5_keytab is not set explicitly)

           Example:

               subdomain_inherit = ldap_purge_cache_timeout

           Default: none

           Note: This option only works with the IPA and AD provider.
