<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

<para>

<command>SSSD</command> provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote

directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and

PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system to

connect to multiple different account sources as well as D-Bus

interface. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and

policy services for projects like FreeIPA. It provides a more robust database

to store local users as well as extended user data.
