Greetings,

I haven't started using sssd yet, but am excited to do so.

I have a bunch of Debian clients that I'd like to use/test against an AD controller.

I'm assuming other folks have done such configurations. I'm afraid I don't know exactly which packages I'll need to install to have sss(d) perform the nsswitch'ing. I've read that sssd has a local cache in case the connection to the LDAP directory fails.

Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding what packages I'll need or perhaps a HOWTO document on the internet? I've seen a few Redhat/Fedora docs - which I can translate/interpret for Debian as needed, but was wondering if there was a somewhat condensed version for simply setting up a (Debian) client.

Thanks for any pointers and for helping out a newcomer.
