Cause: SSSD only read the home directory value from the LDAP entry and treated it as definitive
Consequence: Some client machines might need to override the home directory value that is defined in the LDAP entry because e.g. they might not have access to that centrally defined homedir
Fix: The SSSD introduced a new option "override_homedir" that allows the administrator to define a per-client override values for the home directory attribute
Result: The administrator is able to define home directory values on a per-client basis.
