[Freeipa-users] SSSD vs NSCD

[Daniel Qarras]

Hi!

Few more quick general comments/questions:

- some users are under impression (1) that SSSD is tied to IPA and won't work with OpenLDAP/MS AD/etc - is this correct? I thought that SSSD is an independent of IPA and works against any Kerberos5/LDAP server, even MS AD? If so, perhaps you could also set the record straight on Bugzilla :)

- even some RH developers seem to think that nss_ldap/nss-ldapd is better suited for some scenarios than SSSD (2) - would it be possible to eloborate a bit on that? I'd hate a situation where due to some corner case two different solutions implementing almost identical functionality would need to be deployed.

Thanks!
