[Freeipa-devel] Disabling Schema Compatibility rule

[Martin Kosek]

Hi Alexander and others,

As you know, SSSD 1.13.4 added support of reading the native SUDO tree [1].
This means that FreeIPA deployments with all clients being SSSD 1.13.4 or older
will be able to disable the sudoers schema compatiblity tree
(cn=sudoers,cn=Schema Compatibility,cn=plugins,cn=config).

Right now, I am only aware of an attribute tu disable the whole Schema Compat
plugin (exposed via ipa-compat-manage tool), but this would not fly for people
with legacy clients reading from Compat tree.

I am thinking, is there an easy way we can recommend to admins on how to do
disable just certain Schema Compatibility rules? Ideally having a config
options something like:

schema-compat-enabled: on|off

That could be changed via ldapmodify.
