NAME
       sssd - System Security Services Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       sssd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       SSSD 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.

OPTIONS
       -d,--debug-level LEVEL
	   Bit mask that indicates which debug levels will be visible. 0x0010 is the default value as well as the lowest allowed value, 0xFFF0 is
	   the most verbose mode. This setting overrides the settings from config file.

	   Currently supported debug levels:

	   0x0010: Fatal failures. Anything that would prevent SSSD from starting up or causes it to cease running.

	   0x0020: Critical failures. An error that doesn't kill the SSSD, but one that indicates that at least one major feature is not going to
	   work properly.

	   0x0040: Serious failures. An error announcing that a particular request or operation has failed.

	   0x0080: Minor failures. These are the errors that would percolate down to cause the operation failure of 2.

	   0x0100: Configuration settings.

	   0x0200: Function data.

	   0x0400: Trace messages for operation functions.

	   0x1000: Trace messages for internal control functions.

	   0x2000: Contents of function-internal variables that may be interesting.

	   0x4000: Extremely low-level tracing information.

	   To log required debug levels, simply add their numbers together as shown in following examples:

	   Example: To log fatal failures, critical failures, serious failures and function data use 0x0270.

	   Example: To log fatal failures, configuration settings, function data, trace messages for internal control functions use 0x1310.

	   Note: This is new format of debug levels introduced in 1.7.0. Older format (numbers from 0-10) is compatible but deprecated.

       --debug-timestamps=mode

	   1: Add a timestamp to the debug messages

	   0: Disable timestamp in the debug messages

	   Default: 1

       --debug-microseconds=mode

	   1: Add microseconds to the timestamp in debug messages

	   0: Disable microseconds in timestamp

	   Default: 0

       -f,--debug-to-files
	   Send the debug output to files instead of stderr. By default, the log files are stored in /var/log/sssd and there are separate log
	   files for every SSSD service and domain.

       -D,--daemon
	   Become a daemon after starting up.

       -i,--interactive
	   Run in the foreground, don't become a daemon.

       -c,--config
	   Specify a non-default config file. The default is /etc/sssd/sssd.conf. For reference on the config file syntax and options, consult the
	   sssd.conf(5) manual page.

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

       --version
	   Print version number and exit.

SIGNALS
       SIGTERM/SIGINT
	   Informs the SSSD to gracefully terminate all of its child processes and then shut down the monitor.

       SIGHUP
	   Tells the SSSD to stop writing to its current debug file descriptors and to close and reopen them. This is meant to facilitate log
	   rolling with programs like logrotate.

       SIGUSR1
	   Tells the SSSD to simulate offline operation for one minute. This is mostly useful for testing purposes.

       SIGUSR2
	   Tells the SSSD to go online immediately. This is mostly useful for testing purposes.
