Is there a possibility to somehow specify arguments for shell defined in {{{override_shell}}} variable in {{{sssd.conf}}} file?

If not, is it possible to add it?

I would like to use ipython as my default shell and I need to specify 'profile' option.

Something like this:

override_shell = /usr/bin/ipython
override_shell_arguments = --profile pysh --no-confirm-exit

Currently it's not possible. I wonder if instead of adding more functionality it would be better to add an alias or a shell wrapper that would include the parameters? Or alternatively, can ipython read some dotfile?

In general, I don't think this is sssd's job to set up shell..

Replying to [comment:1 jhrozek]:

I tried to create a shell wrapper:

export SHELL=/usr/bin/ipython
/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/ipython --profile pysh"

The IPython starts but it is not possible to launch commands.

The IPython can read dotfiles but I have not found a way to specify profile name which will be started by default.

In general, I don't think this is sssd's job to set up shell..

Yes, I agree. I try to ask people from IPython how to make this work.

Thank you! I think we can close this RFE.
