Description[[BR]]

When provider = files for domain BE, SSSD should fail to start if magicPrivateGroups = TRUE.[[BR]]

Searching for users or groups with this configuration results in [[BR]]

[sssd[be[files]]] [sysdb_search_entry_done] (6): Error: Entry not Found!
[sssd[be[files]]] [sysdb_add_user_send] (0): Cannot add user with arbitrary GID in MPG domain!

I was thinking that we should probably have the provider check whether an option is valid or not, and warn loudly at start-up if an option can be used, or at least turn it off and ignore it.
MPG should be usable only by providers that can actually honour it.
