Ok, I have a bit of egg on my face here. I accidentally pushed a patch related to the Kerberos DIR cache support that had a debugging "#if 0" left in it. Because of this, DIR cache support is actually non-functional in 1.9.0 beta 2. I'm attaching a patch to fix this to this email (already pushed upstream) so anyone who wants to build beta 2 to try out the DIR cache support must apply this patch for it to work.

We decided not to reroll the beta for this one patch, since beta 3 is being released on Friday anyway.

The SSSD team is proud to announce the second beta of our upcoming 1.9.0 release. We have revised our beta plan and will be having five betas instead of three as originally communicated. Originally, the plan was to have our next beta be the final one, at the end of July. We now have the following schedule:

Beta 3 will be released next Friday (Jun 22nd) or the following Monday and contain enhancements necessary to support Kerberos cross-realm trusts with FreeIPA, a server-side piece of which will be released a few days after.

Beta 4 will be released on July 10th and include a new AD provider (wrapping the intricacies of setting up AD, configuring LDAP attributes and Kerberos realm into a simpler set of configuration options)

Beta 5 will be released on July 31st and will contain a new tool for "seeding" accounts with a temporary password for sending machines to remotees as well as introducing a concept of primary vs. secondary servers.

After Beta 5, no new features will be added to SSSD 1.9.0 and we will focus on stability and our backlog of bugfixes until the final release around September 1st. We will most likely issue a series of release candidate builds prior to that, but these have not yet been scheduled.
