Hey there!
I looked for similar issues, but could not find one. If this is a duplicate, please ignore this.
While looking at my `/etc/sssd/conf.d/example.conf` file, I noticed some config-entries are missing? How comes?
Turns out, after running `sss_obfuscate -d Example -f /etc/sssd/conf.d/example.conf` all entries of the pattern `_provider = none` are missing... I intended to set these explicitly to `none`.
I am using RHEL 9.5 with SSSD version `2.9.5`, release `4.el9`
Below I provide a minimal setup and script based on `sss_obfuscate` for demonstrating this issue:
My minimal config `/etc/sssd/conf.d/minimal.conf`:
```ini
[sssd]
services = nss, pam
domains = Example
config_file_version = 2
[domain/Example]
id_provider = ldap
access_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
autofs_provider = none
chpass_provider = none
resolver_provider = none
sudo_provider = none
debug_level = 0x00400
ldap_uri = ldaps://example.org
ldap_default_bind_dn = example@example.org
ldap_default_authtok_type = obfuscated_password
```
After running the following python script (derived from `sss_obfuscate`):
```py
import SSSDConfig
sssdconfig = SSSDConfig.SSSDConfig()
sssdconfig.import_config("/etc/sssd/conf.d/minimal.conf")
domain = sssdconfig.get_domain("Example")
print(f"Parsed Options:
")
sssdconfig.save_domain(domain)
sssdconfig.write()
```
The contents of `/etc/sssd/conf.d/minimal.conf` have changed:
```ini
[sssd]
services = nss, pam
domains = Example
config_file_version = 2
[domain/Example]
id_provider = ldap
access_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
debug_level = 0x400
ldap_uri = ldaps://example.org
ldap_default_bind_dn = example@example.org
ldap_default_authtok_type = obfuscated_password
```
As you can see, the following lines are missing after running the script, similar to running `sss_obfuscate`:
```ini
autofs_provider = none
chpass_provider = none
resolver_provider = none
sudo_provider = none
```
The same happens when using `None` instead of `none`.
I have not yet noticed this behavior with other contents (configurations, or comments).
Is this intended behavior? And if yes, why? Where is it documented?
Does the main daemon handle/parse the configuration the same way? If yes, does the main daemon suffer from the same issue resulting in using the default values instead of `none`?
