SSSD(8) SSSD Manual pages SSSD(8)NAMEsssd - System Security Services Daemon
SYNOPSISsssd [options]
DESCRIPTION
SSSD provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories
and authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface
toward the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple
different account sources as well as D-Bus interface. It is also the
basis to provide client auditing and policy services for projects like
FreeIPA. It provides a more robust database to store local users as
well as extended user data.
OPTIONS-d,--debug-level LEVEL
Bit mask that indicates which debug levels will be visible. 0x0010
is the default value as well as the lowest allowed value, 0xFFF0 is
the most verbose mode. This setting overrides the settings from
config file.
Currently supported debug levels:
0x0010: Fatal failures. Anything that would prevent SSSD from
starting up or causes it to cease running.
0x0020: Critical failures. An error that doesn´t kill the SSSD, but
one that indicates that at least one major feature is not going to
work properly.
0x0040: Serious failures. An error announcing that a particular
request or operation has failed.
0x0080: Minor failures. These are the errors that would percolate
down to cause the operation failure of 2.
0x0100: Configuration settings.
0x0200: Function data.
0x0400: Trace messages for operation functions.
0x1000: Trace messages for internal control functions.
0x2000: Contents of function-internal variables that may be
interesting.
0x4000: Extremely low-level tracing information.
To log required debug levels, simply add their numbers together as
shown in following examples:
Example: To log fatal failures, critical failures, serious failures
and function data use 0x0270.
Example: To log fatal failures, configuration settings, function
data, trace messages for internal control functions use 0x1310.
Note: This is new format of debug levels introduced in 1.7.0. Older
format (numbers from 0-10) is compatible but deprecated.
--debug-timestamps=mode
1: Add a timestamp to the debug messages
0: Disable timestamp in the debug messages
Default: 1
--debug-microseconds=mode
1: Add microseconds to the timestamp in debug messages
0: Disable microseconds in timestamp
Default: 0
-f,--debug-to-files
Send the debug output to files instead of stderr. By default, the
log files are stored in /var/log/sssd and there are separate log
files for every SSSD service and domain.
-D,--daemon
Become a daemon after starting up.
-i,--interactive
Run in the foreground, don´t become a daemon.
-c,--config
Specify a non-default config file. The default is
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf. For reference on the config file syntax and
options, consult the sssd.conf(5) manual page.
-?,--help
Display help message and exit.
--version
Print version number and exit.
SIGNALS
SIGTERM/SIGINT
Informs the SSSD to gracefully terminate all of its child processes
and then shut down the monitor.
SIGHUP
Tells the SSSD to stop writing to its current debug file
descriptors and to close and reopen them. This is meant to
facilitate log rolling with programs like logrotate.
SIGUSR1
Tells the SSSD to simulate offline operation for one minute. This
is mostly useful for testing purposes.
SIGUSR2
Tells the SSSD to go online immediately. This is mostly useful for
testing purposes.
