SSSD monitors the state of resolv.conf to

use inotify for this, and will fall back to
polling resolv.conf every five seconds if
inotify cannot be used.

There are some limited situations where it is
preferred that we should skip even trying to
use inotify. In these rare cases, this option
should be set to 'false'

supported. False on other platforms.

<term>default_domain_suffix (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This string will be used as a default domain
name for all names without a domain name
component. The main use case is environments
where the primary domain is intended for managing host
policies and all users are located in a trusted domain.
The option allows those users
to log in just with their user name without
giving a domain name as well.
</para>
<para>
Please note that if this option is set all
users from the primary domain have to use their
fully qualified name, e.g. user@domain.name,
to log in. Setting this option changes default
of use_fully_qualified_names to True. It is not
allowed to use this option together with
use_fully_qualified_names set to False.

This parameter will replace spaces (space bar)

e.g. (_). User name "john doe" will
be "john_doe" This feature was added to
help compatibility with shell scripts that have
difficulty handling spaces, due to the
default field separator in the shell.
</para>
<para>
Please note it is a configuration error to use
a replacement character that might be used in
user or group names. If a name contains the
replacement character SSSD tries to return the
unmodified name but in general the result of a
lookup is undefined.

</para>

For example, if the domain's entry_cache_timeout

set to 50 (percent), entries that come in after 15

<title>PAC responder configuration options</title>
<para>
The PAC responder works together with the authorization data
plugin for MIT Kerberos sssd_pac_plugin.so and a sub-domain
provider. The plugin sends the PAC data during a GSSAPI
authentication to the PAC responder. The sub-domain provider
collects domain SID and ID ranges of the domain the client is
joined to and of remote trusted domains from the local domain
controller. If the PAC is decoded and evaluated some of the
following operations are done:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>If the remote user does not exist in the
cache, it is created. The uid is determined with the help
of the SID, trusted domains will have UPGs and the gid
will have the same value as the uid. The home directory is
set based on the subdomain_homedir parameter. The shell will
be empty by default, i.e. the system defaults are used, but
can be overwritten with the default_shell parameter.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>If there are SIDs of groups from domains
sssd knows about, the user will be added to those groups.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>
These options can be used to configure the PAC responder.
</para>

<term>allowed_uids (string)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specifies the comma-separated list of UID values or

responder. User names are resolved to UIDs at
startup.
</para>
<para>
Default: 0 (only the root user is allowed to access
the PAC responder)
</para>
<para>
Please note that although the UID 0 is used as the
default it will be overwritten with this option. If
you still want to allow the root user to access the
PAC responder, which would be the typical case, you
have to add 0 to the list of allowed UIDs as well.

UID and GID limits for the domain. If a domain

For users, this affects the primary GID limit. The

</para>

<term>enumerate (bool)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Determines if a domain can be enumerated. This
parameter can have one of the following values:
</para>
<para>
TRUE = Users and groups are enumerated
</para>
<para>
FALSE = No enumerations for this domain
</para>
<para>
Default: FALSE
</para>
<para>
Note: Enabling enumeration has a moderate
performance impact on SSSD while enumeration
is running. It may take up to several minutes
after SSSD startup to fully complete enumerations.
During this time, individual requests for
information will go directly to LDAP, though it
may be slow, due to the heavy enumeration
processing. Saving a large number of entries
to cache after the enumeration completes might
also be CPU intensive as the memberships have
to be recomputed.
</para>
<para>
While the first enumeration is running, requests
for the complete user or group lists may return
no results until it completes.
</para>
<para>
Further, enabling enumeration may increase the time
necessary to detect network disconnection, as
longer timeouts are required to ensure that
enumeration lookups are completed successfully.
For more information, refer to the man pages for
the specific id_provider in use.
</para>
<para>
For the reasons cited above, enabling enumeration
is not recommended, especially in large
environments.
