2. What is the nature and description of the request?
   
sssd lacks nss_override_attribute_value  loginshell option , This is available
in nss_ldap to define default shell systemwide for all ldap accounts 
with entry 
   
   nss_override_attribute_value loginshell /bin/bash 
   
In RHEL6 sssd lacks this feature. 
   
3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
   
The lack of this feature is preventing the use of sssd and the migration to
RHEL6 in our unit. In our campus, we do not manage or can change all attributes
in the ldap server as some legacy systems require certain values. For some
reason, the default shell is ksh which is not the desired one for all users in
our unit.

In RHEL 5.x we could override that with nss_ldap as I mentioned before:

nss_override_attribute_value loginshell /bin/bash

As a workaround to be able to use RHEL6, we could use nslcd which does have an
override option, however nslcd does not support multiple domains like sssd
does.

In nslcd, one can use the configuration option:

	map    passwd loginshell "/bin/bash"

to set the default shell for all accounts regardless of their ldap entry.

It is a bit of an overlook that an option that was available in nss_ldap and
nslcd is not available in sssd, which is supposed to replace them.

I think that if an RFE is entered, it should be about implementing the ability
to override all attribute values as they were available nss_ldap using the
configuration option:

	nss_override_attribute_value

I would say impact is High since we cannot use sssd as desired, even when we
could make it work with nslcd.

4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional
requirements here)

Add a similar option like "   nss_override_attribute_value " in sssd. 

5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat
and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully
implemented.
   
Specify the option "nss_override_attribute_value loginshell" in sssd.conf which
would override the shell value described in "LoginShell" in ldap user entries. 

6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
   
No
   
7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release)
   
RHEL6 Update 2
   
8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review)
   
Not sure. 
   
9. List the affected packages
   
sssd
   
10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if
implemented?

yes
