[Bug 1646954] Re: Sync to Debian for -ldap, drop Ubuntu's -auth-client

[Andreas Hasenack]

Off the top of my head, I think the config file change is more problematic and less desirable:
- we are following upstream here by using /etc/ldap.{conf,secret}
- if we go back to adopting debian's patch, that means more config files for the user to change: /etc/libpam-ldap.{conf,secret} and /etc/libnss-ldap.{conf,secret}. 4 in total, with duplicated information
- this complicates the upgrade path: two config files need to be split into 4
- honestly, I believe upstream is correct here

Do you have rewritten documentation or a guide that shows how to use
sssd? Out of the box it doesn't work, for example. It doesn't even have
a config file to start with. Ideally we should have a wizard for it, or
debconf questions, just like we have today for lib{nss,pam}-ldap.

Anyway, this bug is not the right forum to discuss it :) Could you start
a thread in the ubuntu-server@ mailing list perhaps?
