Description Thorsten Scherf 2020-06-14 07:32:27 UTC

Description of problem:
`/usr/libexec/sssd/p11_child` has the command-line argument `--nssdb`. However, this argument doesn't always mean "NSS database". If SSSD was built in OpenSSL mode (e.g. RHEL 8.x) instead of NSS mode (e.g. RHEL 7.x), then `--nssdb` actually means the CA root certificates in PEM format. It's referred to as both `nss_sb` and `ca_db` in the common source file `p11_child_common.c`.

Rename the argument '--nssdb' to something more generic.
