Public bug reported: authd is a new package in resolute, in universe. It's not shipped by default.
The new long-awaited version brings many important improvements and bug fixes compared to 0.5.11. The new features which require a FFe are: 1. Change default UID/GID range to 10000:60000. Previously, UIDs and GIDs were picked from the range 1000000000:1999999999 which caused issues with LXD containers: * https://github.com/canonical/authd/issues/819 * https://github.com/canonical/authd/issues/1022 2. Add authctl, a command-line tool to manage authd users and groups. authd users and groups can't be modified with standard utilities like shadow-utils (usermod and friends). In the new release, authctl supports: * Changing user and group IDs, which helps avoiding the issues with LXD mentioned above for existing authd users. * Locking and unlocking users. Additional capabilities, like changing a user's shell and home directory, are planned for the future. 3. Deny login if session is offline and user or device is disabled. This is a security feature which closes a loophole that allowed users to still log in when they were disabled on the IdP. The full changelog is available at [1]. We tested the release with: * Our unit and integration tests [2]. These are also executed with autopkgtest. * Our automated end-to-end tests, simulating user interaction [3] (which are a bit flaky, which is why there are some failures). * A bunch of manual tests. We maintain a spreadsheet for those which I can share privately on request. The 0.6.1 release is available in our PPA [4].
