Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1301606

Description of problem:
Currently the SSSD local overrides feature stores its data in the cache,
'/var/lib/sss/db/cache_*'.
It's not uncommon to clear the cache for various reasons, it'd be nice have a
more permanent location for this data so it can persist when the cache is
cleared.
Maybe have a location, in /var/lib/sss or /etc/sssd/ that will contain an
export. Then apart of the start process or the process of creating the cache,
that an import is performed if an export exists.

Additional info:

This is more or less an investigation task. We've been asked by the field to research this, but it's not urgent to warrant 1.14 alpha, beta should be fine.

Should not block the 1.14 beta release.

milestone: SSSD 1.14 beta => SSSD 1.14 backlog

Since the 1.14 branch is transitioning into maintenance mode and new functionality is being developed in master which will become 1.15 eventually, I'm mass-moving tickets from the 1.14 backlog milestone to the "Future releases" milestone.
