#266 nss_sss should not return "x" for password field
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by brianjmurrell.

Per the discussion on sssd-devel list, nss_sss should not return an "x" in the password field of the passwd map since that means there is a shadow entry available, which in the case of nss_sss, there is not.


We need to make it configurable, so that we can return whatever the distribution or OS thinks is most appropriate.

Fixed with: 15dc632

Affects tests: the default for the password field was changed from "x" to "*" and there is a new (undocumented, because very advanced) option "pwfield" for the NSS provider that can be used to customize the value.
