Fix group memberships after initgroups in the IPA provider
- Addresses CVE-2010-4341 - DoS in sssd PAM responder can prevent logins
- Vast performance improvements when enumerate = true
- All PAM actions will now perform a forced initgroups lookup instead of just
- a user information lookup
- This guarantees that all group information is available to other
- providers, such as the simple provider.
- For backwards-compatibility, DNS lookups will also fall back to trying the
- SSSD domain name as a DNS discovery domain.
- Support for more password expiration policies in LDAP
- 389 Directory Server
- FreeIPA
- ActiveDirectory
- Support for ldap_tls_{cert,key,cipher_suite} config options

- even when the user logs out
- Added several new features to the LDAP access provider
