Created attachment 403535 [details] sssd.conf file as created by authconfig Description of problem: On sssd live image, did: # authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --ldapserver=ldap.cora.nwra.com --ldapbasedn=dc=nwra,dc=com --enableldaptls --ldaploadcacert=http://www.cora.nwra.com/cgi-bin/getca.pl --update and got: Starting sssd: Cannot load configuration database [FAILED] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): authconfig-6.1.2-1.fc13.i686
This is not the way the SSSD should be set up by the command-line. Using the --enablesssd and --enablesssdauth options forces startup of sssd but does not set up the ldap provider. I suppose you want LDAP for both user identity and The correct way is: authconfig --enableldap --enableldapauth --ldapserver=ldap.cora.nwra.com --ldapbasedn=dc=nwra,dc=com --enableldaptls --ldaploadcacert=http://www.cora.nwra.com/cgi-bin/getca.pl --update Of course you should run this command either on fresh install without any other network authentication set or disable all other network identity/authentication with authconfig call. You can find out the current settings with 'authconfig --test'.
I'll try to document that in the authconfig man page.
Okay, that works. Sorry for the noise.
