Description Jakub Hrozek 2013-11-14 12:18:45 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1965

This came up on sssd-users:

The default access_provider [for the AD provider] is "permit" because basically all of the real access providers require configuration to be useful and otherwise default to blocking everyone. Essentially, we elected to behave like FreeIPA with the ALLOW_ALL HBAC rule for initial setup.

This should be spelled out in the man page.
Comment 2 Amith 2014-01-07 13:09:46 UTC 
Verified the bug on SSSD Version: sssd-1.11.2-13.el7

The man page for sssd-ad has been updated with the following NOTES section:

NOTES
       The AD access control provider checks if the account is expired. It has the same effect as the following configuration of the LDAP
       provider:

           access_provider = ldap
           ldap_access_order = expire
           ldap_account_expire_policy = ad

       However, unless the “ad” access control provider is explicitly configured, the default access provider is “permit”.
