+ <title>CONFIGURATION SNIPPETS FROM INCLUDE DIRECTORY</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The configuration file <filename>sssd.conf</filename> will
+ include configuration snippets using the include directory
+ <filename>conf.d</filename>. This feature is available if
+ SSSD was compiled with libini version 1.3.0 or later.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Any file placed in <filename>conf.d</filename>
+ that ends in <quote><filename>.conf</filename></quote>
+ and does not begin with a dot (<quote>.</quote>) will
+ be used together with <filename>sssd.conf</filename>
+ to configure SSSD.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The configuration snippets from <filename>conf.d</filename>
+ have higher priority than <filename>sssd.conf</filename>
+ and will override <filename>sssd.conf</filename> when
+ conflicts occur. If several snippets are present in
+ <filename>conf.d</filename>, then they are included in
+ alphabetical order (based on locale).
+ Files included later have higher priority. Numerical
+ prefixes (<filename>01_snippet.conf</filename>,
+ <filename>02_snippet.conf</filename> etc.) can help
+ visualize the priority (higher number means higher
+ priority).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The snippet files require the same owner and permissions
+ as <filename>sssd.conf</filename>. Which are by default
+ root:root and 0600.
