Fixes for Active Directory when not all users and groups have POSIX attributes
Fixes for handling users and groups that have name aliases (aliases are ignored)
Fix group memberships after initgroups in the IPA provider
- Addresses CVE-2010-4341 - DoS in sssd PAM responder can prevent logins
- Vast performance improvements when enumerate = true
- All PAM actions will now perform a forced initgroups lookup instead of just
- a user information lookup
- This guarantees that all group information is available to other
- providers, such as the simple provider.
- For backwards-compatibility, DNS lookups will also fall back to trying the
- SSSD domain name as a DNS discovery domain.
- Support for more password expiration policies in LDAP
- 389 Directory Server
- FreeIPA
- ActiveDirectory
- Support for ldap_tls_{cert,key,cipher_suite} config options
-Assorted bugfixes
- Fixed issues with LDAP search filters that needed to be escaped
- Add Kerberos FAST support on platforms that support it
- Reduced verbosity of PAM_TEXT_INFO messages for cached credentials
- Added a Kerberos access provider to honor .k5login
- Addressed several thread-safety issues in the sss_client code
- Improved support for delayed online Kerberos auth
- Significantly reduced time between connecting to the network/VPN and
- acquiring a TGT
- Added feature for automatic Kerberos ticket renewal
- Provides the kerberos ticket for long-lived processes or cron jobs
- even when the user logs out
- Added several new features to the LDAP access provider
- Support for 'shadow' access control
- Support for authorizedService access control
- Ability to mix-and-match LDAP access control features
- Added an option for a separate password-change LDAP server for those
- platforms where LDAP referrals are not supported
- Added support for manpage translations
- Add support for netgroups to the proxy provider
- Fixes a minor bug with UIDs/GIDs >= 2^31
- Fixes a segfault in the kerberos provider
- Fixes a segfault in the NSS responder if a data provider crashes
- Correctly use sdap_netgroup_search_base
