Is there more information on this?

https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/6572
Most probably sssd-2.9 upstream release will have a build time ./configure option to enable/disable support of 'files provider'.
It's up to the downstream maintainer if they will keep it enabled.


My federation system provides an "passwd format" file that I'm loading
via

group_files=/etc/sssd_git/group
passwd_files=/etc/sssd_git/passwd
pwfield=*


Could you please check if `sssd-proxy` with `nss-altfiles` as a lib works for your case?
