Turns out selinux was the culprit and running in permissive mode solved my issue.

I'm used to having selinux mounted on /selinux, so when I ruled out selinux earlier, it was because I didn't see the selinux folder in /.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Chris,

Do you see pam_sss being contacted at all? If so, are there any log
messages in /var/log/sss/sssd_pam.log (provided you set debug_level to
the [pam] section) ?

What was the version that worked for you from the repos? I suspect
SELinux might be causing trouble, because the 1.9 pre-release you
checked out from git contains a number of features that needed
tweaking the SELinux policy. Make sure you are running at least
selinux-policy-3.10.0-146 if you are running in the Enforcing mode.
This version is currently in updates-testing for F17, see:

Sure, having a working baseline is important.
