SSSD 1.16.4
===========
The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 1.16.4 of the
System Security Services Daemon.
The tarball can be downloaded from https://releases.pagure.org/SSSD/sssd/
RPM packages will be made available for Fedora shortly.

Highlights
----------
New Features
^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The list of PAM services which are allowed to authenticate using a
Smart Card is now configurable using a new option
``pam_p11_allowed_services``. (#2926)
* A new configuration option ``ad_gpo_implicit_deny`` was added. This option
(when set to True) can be used to deny access to users even if there is
not applicable GPO. Normally users are allowed access in this situation.
(#3701)
* The LDAP authentication provider now allows to use a different method of
changing LDAP passwords using a modify operation in addition to the
default extended operation. This is meant to support old LDAP servers
that do not implement the extended operation. The password change using
the modification operation can be selected with ``ldap_pwmodify_mode =
"ldap_modify"`` (#1314)
* The ``auto_private_groups`` configuration option now takes a new value
``hybrid``. This mode autogenerates private groups for user entries
where the UID and GID values have the same value and at the same time
the GID value does not correspond to a real group entry in LDAP (#3822)
Security issues fixed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* CVE-2019-3811: SSSD used to return "/" in case a user entry had no home
directory. This was deemed a security issue because this flaw could
impact services that restrict the user's filesystem access to within
their home directory. An empty home directory field would indicate
"no filesystem access", where sssd reporting it as "/" would grant full
access (though still confined by unix permissions, SELinux etc).
Notable bug fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The IPA provider, in a setup with a trusted Active Directory domain,
did not remove cached entries that were no longer present on
the AD side (#3984)
* The Active Directory provider now fetches the user information from the
LDAP port and switches to using the Global Catalog port, if available
for the group membership. This fixes an issue where some attributes
which are not available in the Global Catalog, typically the home
directory, would be removed from the user entry. (#2474)
* The IPA SELinux provider now sets the user login context even if it is the
same as the system default. This is important in case the user has
a non-standard home directory, because then only adding the user to
the SELinux database ensures the home directory will be labeled properly.
However, this fix causes a performance hit during the first login
as the context must be written into the semanage database.
* The sudo responder did not reflect the case_sensitive domain option
(#3820)
* A memory leak when requesting netgroups repeatedly was fixed (#3870)
* An issue that caused SSSD to sometimes switch to offline mode in case
not all domains in the forest ran the Global Catalog service was
fixed (#3902)
* The SSH responder no longer fails completely if the ``p11_child`` times out
when deriving SSH keys from a certificate (#3937)
* The negative cache was not reloaded after new sub domains were discovered which
could have lead to a high SSSD load (#3683)
* The negative cache did not work properly for in case a lookup fell back to trying
a UPN instead of a name (#3978)
* If any of the SSSD responders was too busy, that responder wouldn't have
refreshed the trusted domain list (#3967)
* A potential crash due to a race condition between the fail over code refreshing
a SRV lookup and back end using its results (#3976)
* Sudo's runAsUser and runAsGroup attributes did not match properly when used in
setups with domain_resolution_order
* Processing of the values from the ``filter_users`` or ``filter_groups`` options
could trigger calls to blocking NSS API functions which could in turn
prevent the startup of SSSD services in case nsswitch.conf contained
other modules than ``sss`` or ``files`` (#3963)

Packaging Changes
-----------------
* Several files in the reference specfile changed permissions to avoid
issues with verifying the file integrity with ``rpm -V`` in case
SSSD runs as a different user than the default user it is configured
with (#3890)
Documentation Changes
---------------------
* The AD provider default value of ``fallback_homedir`` was changed
to ``fallback_homedir = /home/%d/%u`` to provide home directories for
users without the ``homeDirectory`` attribute.
* A new option ``ad_gpo_implicit_deny``, defaulting to False (#3701)
* A new option ``ldap_pwmodify_mode`` (#1314)
* A new option ``pam_p11_allowed_services`` (#2926)
* The ``auto_private_groups`` accepts a new option value ``hybrid`` (#3822)
* Improved documentation of the Kerberos locator plugin
