Configuration file

The guest machines are defined by a configuration file. The default configuration file location is ./config.json in the sssd-test-suite source directory. The location can be changed when running the cli with -c parameter (e.g. ./sssd-test-suite -c path-to-config-json up) or with an environment variable SSSD_TEST_SUITE_CONFIG. Please, be sure to use the same configuration file for all operations until you destroy the guest machines.
