        <para>
            <command>sss_obfuscate</command> converts a given password into
            human-unreadable format and places it into appropriate domain
            section of the SSSD config file.
        </para>
        <para>
            The cleartext password is read from standard input or entered interactively.
            The obfuscated password is put into <quote>ldap_default_authtok</quote>
            parameter of a given SSSD domain and the
            <quote>ldap_default_authtok_type</quote> parameter is set to
            <quote>obfuscated_password</quote>. Refer to
            <citerefentry>

            for more details on these parameters.
        </para>
        <para>
            Please note that obfuscating the password provides <emphasis>no
            real security benefit</emphasis> as it is still possible for an
            attacker to reverse-engineer the password back. Using better
            authentication mechanisms such as client side certificates or GSSAPI
            is <emphasis>strongly</emphasis> advised.
