And finally, FYI, I think there is a problem to run both sssd and<br>
lightdm (but other dm too) :<br>
<br>
- facing a huge ldap directory<br>
- configured lightdm with <i>greeter-hide-users=true</i><br>
- sssd with <i>enumerate=false</i><br>
<br>
then lightdm hangs<br>
<br>
- so we tried sssd with <i>enumerate=true</i> and still lightdm<i>
greeter-hide-users=true </i><br>
- it runs well, but with sssd default values, every 120 sec the
cache is refreshed and<br>
our ldap server get overloaded (a bit difficult to realize because
with only one workstation<br>
for testing, the load problem is not present). <br>
- as a bonus, we have 120 workstations running and with sssd <i>enum_cache_timeout</i>
left with the<br>
default, roughly, every second there is a worstation doing cache
enumerations requests <br>
(for info about all users)
.<br>
<br>
Currently, I hope to have fixed the problem by setting <i>enum_cache_timeout
</i>to 10 hours<i> ...</i><br>
