Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, the authentication configuration tool overwrote the cache_credentials value to "True" in the SSSD configuration file (/etc/sssd/sssd.conf) if the configuration allowed using SSSD for the network user information and authentication services. With this update, the "cache_credentials" parameter is no longer overwritten in the aforementioned case.

Description Martin Poole 2011-02-03 14:18:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

authconfig-tui/gtk does not have option to disable "cache_credentials" and always resets it to true.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

authconfig-6.1.4-6.el6

Steps to reproduce : 

Add "cache_credentials = False" in sssd.conf file, run authconfig-tui or authconfig-gtk

Actual results : authconfig-tui/gtk reset the above to "cache_credentials = True"  (default)

Expected results : An option(button) in authconfig-tui/gtk to enable/disable cache_credentials or leave the entry as it is.
Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2011-02-04 13:18:10 UTC 
I will not add an extra option for this. But authconfig should clearly keep the value that was manually set here.
