We have ported the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) to use wolfSSL for its SSL/TLS support. SSSD provides a set of daemons that allow access to identity and authentication providers. SSSD is used to connect to remote directories and authentication mechanisms such as LDAP, Kerberos, or FreeIPA. The wolfSSL SSSD port allows organizations to leverage the performance and size advantages of wolfSSL for their SSSD deployments.
wolfSSL is a lightweight and portable SSL/TLS library written in C. It supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.3 levels, is far smaller than OpenSSL, offers a simple API, an OpenSSL compatibility layer, and includes FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography. By integrating wolfSSL with SSSD, organizations can benefit from enhanced performance, reduced memory footprint, and robust security features, making it an ideal choice for secure identity and authentication services.
The patch and installation instructions for SSSD are available here. If you have any questions regarding this or any other port, please contact us at facts@wolfssl.com or +1 425 245 8247.
