This is not yet even in Fedora. 1.8 is not released yet, it is in beta.
Tight SSSD and SUDO integration is a bleeding edge functionality that is
not well documented yet.

Thanks to both of you for your answer, very appreciated.
I'm aware that SSSD and SUDO native integration is not released yet and so, in a RHEL6 doc, I cannot find any info related to that (yet).

Simply, I was not sure that I really needed to touch nslcd.conf (even if not actually using nslcd, by following what written in the doc) for having sudo searching via ldap. I read documentation better and now I understand more the logic flow. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks again
Marco
