This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1308 Each backend can have multiple providers. In many cases IPA backend is the only one that provides some specific functionality (subdomains, session, hostid, ...). These have to be usually explicitly configured in sssd.conf because default value is usually "none". After a consultation with Jakub, we agreed that IPA backend should be more self configurable, i.e. only setting {{{id_provider = ipa}}} should be enough and all other providers should be set to the same value. For this to be possible the best approach is to define init functions for all providers in each backend and not give the name of ID provider as default value to load_backend_module().
