[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] allow different protocol versions for PAM and NSS

[Sumit Bose]

Hi,

this patch adds support for different version numbers of the PAM and NSS
communication with the specific responder.

I have not changed the logic of the get_version request, i.e. the client
(pam_sss or libnss_sss) sends a get_version request to the responder,
the responder sends back his version number and the client proceeds if
the version number meet his expectation. Maybe it would make sense to
switch the logic here, i.e. the client send his version number and the
responder says ACK if he can support the version and NACK otherwise.
This way we can theoretically support more than one version for either
PAM or NSS communication on the responder side, although I do not know
if there ever will be a use case for this.

bye,
Sumit
