Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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”.
