For anyone interested in working on this feature -- we actually had code to provide reloads without restarts in sssd for some time already, but it was challenging for several reasons: - reconfiguring an existing domain might not always be possible. Some configuration changes (like changes to ID mapping ranges) might even require the database to be removed - some configuration parameters are read once after responder or provider startup and then just kept in memory - even with reloading, there might be an inherent downtime when a new connection is re-established
Seeing those reasons again written down actually makes me wonder whether we should just close this ticket as wontfix..
So implementing the reload per se would be possible but the question is what to do during the reload. Traditionally it's been reloading the configuration which we tried to do in sssd a long time ago but never have gotten it to work reliably.
Therefore I'm closing the ticket. Please reopen with a better suggestion of what the reload might do, or even better, with patches.
