Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and
authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward
the system and a plug-gable back-end system to connect to multiple different
account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy
services for projects like FreeIPA.
The sssd sub-package is a meta-package that contains the daemon as well as all
the existing back ends.
