System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) - LDAP
The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) is a system daemon that provides access to different identity and authentication providers such as Red Hat's IdM, Microsoft's AD, openLDAP, MIT Kerberos, etc. It uses a common framework that can provide caching and offline support to systems utilizing SSSD. SSSD using caching to reduce load on authentication servers permit offline authentication as well as store extended user data.
SSSD can support many backends including LDAP. The
sssd-ldap
backend allows SSSD to fetch identity information from an LDAP server.
