We want to be able to show different user's list from SSSD based on the docker container that is asking for it. This works by having libnsss_sss.so from the containerized application connect to an SSSD daemon running on the host or in another container. The only way to distinguish between containers "from the outside" is to lookup the cgroup of the requesting process. It has a unique container ID, and can therefore be mapped to the appropriate policy that will let us decide which 'user domain' to serve to the container.
