[SSSD-users] logging into machine with AD credentials for the first time

[Thomas Beaudry]

Hi Everyone,


i have been able to get sssd to work so i can login with my AD credentials to a
workstation and through ssh,  however I am running into a problem.  Whenever a new user
tries to login to a ubuntu workstation for the first time it doesn't allow them.  I am
guessing the login screen doesn't contact the windows AD to check credentials (so
maybe sssd hasn't been started yet).  I currently have sssd managing the following
services: pam, ssh, autofs, and nss.     The workaround that I have found is to ssh to
that machine from another machine with the AD credentials that I would like to use, and
then when I reset the machine i am able to use those credentials at the login screen.  Is
there a better way?


Thanks,
Thomas
