#3126 let the responder choose the level of sysdb write optimization
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 7 years ago by jhrozek.

Simo had this idea on IRC the other day. Instead of always performing all optimizations regardless of the request type, we should investigate letting the responder choose what optimization should be performed. The idea is that identity look ups would be able to optimize more aggresively, even using the modifyTimestamp and authentication lookups, like initgroups during PAM conversation would choose slower, but more precise path, like only comparing the attributes.

The reason is that some LDAP servers can let the admin modify some attributes, but not change the modifyTimestamp value, which means we never detect the attribute value change.

Implementation-wise, we should probably look into extending the sysdb transaction with some flags, like SYSDB_OPTIMIZE_MODSTAMP, SYSDB_OPTIMIZE_ATTRVALS and SYSDB_OPTIMIZE_NONE.


We might want to revert the commit 00f3c5c after fixing this bug.

I think this would be a nice goal of refactoring before the work on 1.15 features starts.

milestone: SSSD 1.14.2 => NEEDS_TRIAGE

This is an ideal task for 1.15 refactoring.
