Null hostgroup or null service in HBAC rules may crash sssd_be during authentication when used in Identity Management / IdM / IPA
Issue
When SSSD is configured with HBAC rules and a hostgroup is null, or if a servicegroup is null, in some cases, the sssd_be process may seg fault on an IPA client during authentication.
