Hi list,

This is more of a feature request, and I don't know if this is the right venue 
to ask.  If not, kindly direct me to the proper place.

The sssd configuration separates identity, authentication, and access 
providers.   It would be nice to specify that only the access provider be 
enforced in a particular PAM stack.  Generically, this is the authn vs authz 
issue.  I would like to be able to use sssd for authz exclusively in some 
instances where other authentication is deemed satisfactory.  

Use cases:
ssh with public key + 2nd factor token authentication + sssd access filtering
su without password + sssd access filtering
custom service with external authentication + sssd access filtering

I haven't delved too deeply into the sssd source to see how hard it would be to 
implement something like a pam argument authz_only that skips the auth 
provider, but it seems like it should be reasonable.

Thoughts?

Sincerely,
Zach
