2009-04-30 - Fedora Test Day - System Security Services Daemon (SSSD)

[James Laska]

Greetings testers,

For this weeks Test Day we'll be joined by the System Security Services
Daemon (SSSD) team.  SSSD provides several key enhancements to Fedora
11, including:
      * Offline caching for network credentials
      * LDAP connection pooling
      * D-Bus InfoPipe service for extending user information (e.g. face
        browser images, preferred language, etc..)

A lot of prep work has going into making this test day a reality.  Test
cases [1] have been defined, a fedora-infrastructure hosted LDAP server
will be available for testing [2], detailed setup instructions defined
[3], and all of it pulled together in a pre-configured live image [4] to
make testing easier.

I invite you to join #fedora-qa this Thursday, April 30 2009 to help
shake out bugs.  There will be a good crowd of development and quality
folks to help answer questions and triage issues.  Stay tuned for more
details at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-04-30_SSSD.

Thanks,
James
