Yes do need to replace it with SSSD. If you are having a fresh Centos install, by default it is sssd only.
<div><br></div><div>Best way would be to use the authconfig tool as it changes all related files and you don't have to manually change all of them. Moreover, you also need change the nss.conf file and make sure groups/users do have sssd instead of ldap.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From RHEL 6.4 sssd will be fully supported and it gives better performance if you intend to integrate many applications with LDAP as it does not open multiple connections with the directory server.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I will look that guide again and will try to improve it.<br><br>

<div>Okay I will try checking those parameters. I am doing sssd, I used ldap pan before in CentOS 6 and that had worked for me, but I will try using sssd. What confused me in your guide was when it said to set up /etc/pam.d/system-auth, replacing all instances
of pam_sss.so with pam_ldap.so. If I want to use sssd I need to leave this alone. I'll give you an update tomorrow to see how it is going. Thanks again for your insight.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>

No I have not tested it on Redhat. I only have Centos servers. The answer to your question is yes but with Centos not with Redhat.
<div><br></div><div>Also if you want to check whether you ldap auth is working, just do "id <ldap-userid>" it should show the information. If it does not then please check your nssswitch.conf and sssd parameters.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In my case, the ldapsearch was throwing error with certificates, however, sssd user authentication was working perfect. <br><br>
