This manual page describes the files provider for sssd(8). For a detailed syntax reference, refer to the “FILE FORMAT” section of the sssd.conf(5) manual page.
The files provider mirrors the content of the passwd(5) and group(5) files. The purpose of the files provider is to make the users and groups traditionally only accessible with NSS interfaces also available through the SSSD interfaces such as sssd-ifp(5).
In addition to the options listed below, generic SSSD domain options can be set where applicable. Refer to the section “DOMAIN SECTIONS” of the sssd.conf(5) manual page for details on the configuration of an SSSD domain.
Comma-separated list of one or multiple password filenames to be read and enumerated by the files provider, inotify monitor watches will be set on each file to detect changes dynamically.
Default: /etc/passwd
Comma-separated list of one or multiple group filenames to be read and enumerated by the files provider, inotify monitor watches will be set on each file to detect changes dynamically.
Default: /etc/group
