#1503 Document the IPC between different SSSD processes
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by jhrozek.

This requirement came as a part of security audit of the SSSD. It is important (not only) for the auditors to understand how the processes that the SSSD consists of communicate.

We should create a wiki page that describes:
- the SBUS mechanism and how do we verify the identity of the process (client registration, client IDs etc)
- that there is a difference between the private and public pipes (pam vs. nss)

We should also make sure the corresponding code is well documented so that the auditors can cross-reference the code with the document.
