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.
