Hmm, unfortunately I'm not sure that this will work with SSSD as it currently exists. SSSD as a service needs to be running as early in the boot process as it can be brought up, because it is is possible that other services will require its ability to serve up users and groups. Furthermore, there are advanced features of the SSSD that require it to be running even before any clients connect (or even if they never do). For example, we have an internal facility that can monitor and refresh kerberos tickets for the LDAP server connection. This happens irrespective of whether a client has actually ever connected. So the SSSD cannot be started on-demand. - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
