Enable SSSD for system authentication (also for local users only)
=================================================================

Selecting this profile will enable SSSD as the source of identity
and authentication providers.

SSSD provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and
authentication mechanisms such as LDAP, Kerberos, FreeIPA or AD. It provides
an NSS and PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system
to connect to multiple different account sources.

More information about SSSD can be found on its project page:
https://sssd.io

However, if you do not want to keep SSSD running on your machine, you can
keep this profile selected and just disable SSSD service. The resulting
configuration will still work correctly even with SSSD disabled and local users
and groups will be read from local files directly.

SSSD CONFIGURATION
------------------

Authselect does not touch SSSD's configuration. Please, read SSSD's
documentation to see how to configure it manually. Only local users
will be available on the system if there is no existing SSSD configuration.

AVAILABLE OPTIONAL FEATURES
---------------------------

with-faillock::
    Enable account locking in case of too many consecutive
    authentication failures.

with-mkhomedir::
    Enable automatic creation of home directories for users on their
    first login.

with-ecryptfs::
    Enable automatic per-user ecryptfs.

with-smartcard::
    Enable authentication with smartcards through SSSD. Please note that
    smartcard support must be also explicitly enabled within
    SSSD's configuration.

with-smartcard-lock-on-removal::
    Lock screen when a smartcard is removed.

with-smartcard-required::
    Smartcard authentication is required. No other means of authentication
    (including password) will be enabled.

with-fingerprint::
    Enable authentication with fingerprint reader through *pam_fprintd*.

with-pam-gnome-keyring::
    Enable pam-gnome-keyring support.

with-pam-u2f::
    Enable authentication via u2f dongle through *pam_u2f*.

with-pam-u2f-2fa::
    Enable 2nd factor authentication via u2f dongle through *pam_u2f*.

without-pam-u2f-nouserok::
    Module argument nouserok is omitted if also with-pam-u2f-2fa is used.
    *WARNING*: Omitting nouserok argument means that users without pam-u2f
    authentication configured will not be able to log in *INCLUDING* root.
    Make sure you are able to log in before losing root privileges.

with-silent-lastlog::
    Do not produce pam_lastlog message during login.

with-sudo::
    Allow sudo to use SSSD as a source for sudo rules in addition of /etc/sudoers.

with-pamaccess::
    Check access.conf during account authorization.

with-pwhistory::
    Enable pam_pwhistory module for local users.

with-altfiles::
    Use nss_altfiles for passwd and group nsswitch databases.

with-mdns4::
    Enable multicast DNS over IPv4.

with-mdns6::
    Enable multicast DNS over IPv6.

with-files-domain::
    If set, SSSD will be contacted before "files" when resolving users and
    groups. The order in nsswitch.conf will be set to "sss files" instead of
    "files sss" for passwd and group maps.

with-files-access-provider::
    If set, account management for local users is handled also by pam_sss. This
    is needed if there is an explicitly configured domain with id_provider=files
    and non-empty access_provider setting in sssd.conf.

    *WARNING:* SSSD access check will become mandatory for local users and
    if SSSD is stopped then local users will not be able to log in. Only
    system accounts (as defined by pam_usertype, including root) will be
    able to log in.

with-gssapi::
    If set, pam_sss_gss module is enabled to perform user authentication over
    GSSAPI.

with-subid::
    Enable SSSD as a source of subid database in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

with-systemd-homed::
    If set, pam_systemd_homed is enabled for all pam operations.

without-nullok::
    Do not add nullok parameter to pam_unix.

with-libvirt::
    Enable connecting to libvirt VMs using the hostname configured in the
    guest OS or, as a fallback, their name.
