Ah, sorry, I see the beginning of the page confused you. I left the
'legacy' API we used as a proof of concept in the design page to
maintain how we got to the current design, but since the legacy part was
confusing users, I simply removed.
I think that the comment still applies. The attribute that I am
interested at (user's public key) is -according to my understanding- on
the extraAttributes, and the only text available is:
property Dictionary extraAttributes
Extra attributes as configured by the SSSD. The key is the attribute
name, value is array of strings that contains the values.
So I'd still be interested whether the extra attributes will contain
some consistent set of attributes across different SSSD installations,
or they would be system-specific.
