SSS_OBFUSCATE(8)	       SSSD Manual pages	      SSS_OBFUSCATE(8)

NAME
       sss_obfuscate - obfuscate a clear text password

SYNOPSIS
       sss_obfuscate [options] [PASSWORD]

DESCRIPTION
       sss_obfuscate converts a given password into human-unreadable format
       and places it into appropriate domain section of the SSSD config file.

       The cleartext password is read from standard input or entered
       interactively. The obfuscated password is put into
       “ldap_default_authtok” parameter of a given SSSD domain and the
       “ldap_default_authtok_type” parameter is set to “obfuscated_password”.
       Refer to sssd-ldap(5) for more details on these parameters.

       Please note that obfuscating the password provides no real security
       benefit as it is still possible for an attacker to reverse-engineer the
       password back. Using better authentication mechanisms such as client
       side certificates or GSSAPI is strongly advised.

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

       -s,--stdin
	   The password to obfuscate will be read from standard input.

       -d,--domain DOMAIN

	   “default”.

       -f,--file FILE
	   Read the config file specified by the positional parameter.
