Description Stephen Gallagher 2011-06-02 19:59:48 UTC

Description of problem:
The SSSD has a special access-control plugin called "simple" that makes it easy to restrict a machine to a single owner (or group of users). This may be preferable in the case of corporate laptops.

To configure the simple access provider, one would set
access_provider = simple
simple_allow_users = <username1>,<username2>, ...
simple_allow_groups = <group1>, <group2>, ...
in the [domain/<domainname>] section of sssd.conf.

Other options available are documented in sssd-simple(5), but are rarely if ever used.

Setting to ON_QA for review for 6.2.

This is a bulk change, so I'm not providing links at this time. If you need help finding the info, ping sunny-dee on #docs or email me.

Thanks!
