Topic: SSSD Client login issues

[ReetP]

If you have just updated your *buntu desktop and use SSSD for client authentication you may find that you can no longer login.

There seems to be a bug in the update. It may not occur if you have autofs installed:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1695129

Login via the terminal (you did set up a local user didn't you ? !!!!)

Code: [Select]

Ctrl+F1
This gets the sssd service running:

Code: [Select]

sudo service sssd restart
To fix it:

Edit /etc/init/sssd.conf

-start on (filesystem and net-device-up and starting autofs)
+start on (filesystem and net-device-up)

(Just remove 'and starting autofs')

Their Q&A seems to be a complete mess
