[Freeipa-interest] Announcing SSSD 1.9.5

[Jakub Hrozek]

                      === SSSD 1.9.5 ===

The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 1.9.5 of
the System Security Services Daemon.

As always, the source is available from https://fedorahosted.org/sssd

This is mostly a bugfix release with minor feature enhancements -- see
the changelog below for details. In addition to fixing functionality,
this release also includes one security patch.

Our focus is now on developing new features for the upcoming 1.10
release. That said, fixes for important bugs will be added to the 1.9.6
bucket and released when appropriate. The 1.9.6 release has no due date yet,
although we would release it to be aligned with RHEL-6.5 at the latest.

RPM packages will be made available for Fedora shortly, initially for
F-18 and later also backported to F-17, which has moved to the 1.9 series
recently.

== Feedback ==

== Highlights ==

* This release focused mainly on fixing regressions compared to the 1.8
  series and bugfixes for features introduced in the 1.9 release cycle. The
  release also includes one security fix
* Includes a fix for CVE-2013-0287: A simple access provider flaw prevents
  intended ACL use when SSSD is configured as an Active Directory client
* Fixed spurious password expiration warning that was printed on login
  with the Kerberos back end
* A new option ldap_rfc2307_fallback_to_local_users was added. If this
  option is set to true, SSSD is be able to resolve local group members of
  LDAP groups.
* Fixed an indexing bug that prevented the contents of autofs maps from
  being returned to the automounter deamon in case the map contained a large
  number of entries
* Several fixes for safer handling of Kerberos credential caches for cases
  where the ccache is set to be stored in a DIR: type
