Hi all,
I'm new to this list and to SSSD. I just set up SSSD so that our admins can authenticate on Linux using their Active Directory username. For this I have a centralized 'box' (AUTH01) in the production environment. Everything works on that single box authenticating to the AD. My question now is if there's a way to have other Linux VMs (CentOS 6.5) in that environment authenticate against that AUTH01 instance using only SSSD? Or do I need something on top of it?
Sorry if this is a question that's already been asked but I've been searching the internet without any luck yet.
Kind regards,

I don't think this is currently possible, SSSD only supports authentication against an LDAP server, a KDC or variants of the latter (AD, IPA, ...)
The IPA server mode currently does something similar, the IPA server which is acting a bit like proxy listens to requests from clients and does a PAM conversation against locally running SSSD which talks to AD servers. But still, there is a component (ns-slapd in that case) that talks to the local SSSD and smart clients that talk to ns-slapd.
