Comment 1 for bug 1722936

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

It looks like you are familiar with Ubuntu/Debian development. Do you think you would be able to make a merge proposal against this git branch for xenial?

https://code.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+git/sssd/+ref/ubuntu/xenial-devel

If you are familiar with git and Ubuntu development, you can use our git workflow and the git-ubuntu helper tool.

Something like this, on a fresh xenial VM to show the setup steps:

$ sudo snap install git-ubuntu --classic
$ mkdir -p git/packages
$ cd git/packages
$ git ubuntu clone sssd
$ cd sssd
$ git checkout -b xenial-sssd-hbac-rule-1722936 pkg/ubuntu/xenial-devel

code away

$ git ubuntu submit
