Hello the list,
I've seen this issue on the list several times, but I've not yet seen a
solution posted., We're having this issue on one of our SLES 12 SP2 hosts
(we have other SLES hosts are fine), were seeing this error when users try
and login, they just keep getting the Password: prompt and are unable to log
in with FreeIPA accounts. Local accounts are fine. Hostnames have been
changed to protect the innocent.
In this hosts /var/log/sssd/ldap_child.log

On the host in question klist gives the following (note that kinit works,
even if ssh login does not):

Also, I've compared NTP and there's only ~2.5ms offset between the two
hosts.
Increasing the logging level of sssd to debug_level=9 which does not
generate more logs.
