Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.4.0-4.el7.x86_64
sssd-1.14.0-10.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-91.el7.noarch


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ipa-server-install
2.  ipa user-add ipauser
3.  kinit ipauser # to set password
4.  yum -y install ftp vsftpd; systemctl start vsftpd
5.  ftp -inv $(hostname)
> user ipauser <ipauser password>


Actual results:

AVC shown above

Expected results:

I wouldn't expect to see an AVC.

Additional info:

I'm not sure if this is an selinux-policy bug or something changed within SSSD.
So, I'm starting with SSSD.

If I add an actual local user, ftp works.
