List of Design Pages
The following is a list of design pages that describe decision process and implementation details of more complex changes. Each page provides a solution overview to help you understand how the change was implemented. It does not serve as an accurate documentation of the change. The changes landed in different versions of SSSD and not all of them were implemented.
Warning
Each design page was used to describe the initial implementation of the change. However, the state of those documents do not necessarily correspond to the current state of the project since we do not keep these documents up to date with further changes and bug fixes.
