<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>sss_obfuscate</command> converts a given password into
human-unreadable format and places it into appropriate domain
section of the SSSD config file.
</para>
<para>
The cleartext password is read from standard input or entered interactively.
The obfuscated password is put into <quote>ldap_default_authtok</quote>
parameter of a given SSSD domain and the
<quote>ldap_default_authtok_type</quote> parameter is set to
<quote>obfuscated_password</quote>. Refer to
<citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>sssd-ldap</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>
for more details on these parameters.
</para>
<para>
Please note that obfuscating the password provides <emphasis>no
real security benefit</emphasis> 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 <emphasis>strongly</emphasis> advised.
