+ <title>THE LOCAL DOMAIN</title>
+ <para>
+ In order to function correctly, a domain with
+ <quote>id_provider=local</quote> must be created and the SSSD must
+ be running.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead
+ of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>sss_groupadd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry>) is needed. The local users are also useful for
+ testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy
+ a full remote server. The <command>sss_user*</command> and
+ <command>sss_group*</command> tools use a local LDB storage to
+ store users and groups.
