        <para>
            <command>SSSD</command> provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote
            directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and
            PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system to
            connect to multiple different account sources as well as D-Bus
            interface. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and
            policy services for projects like FreeIPA. It provides a more robust database
            to store local users as well as extended user data.
