Turns out, I'm still getting the same problem. It works right away after I
force clean the sssd cache: systemctl stop sssd ; rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*
/var/log/sssd/* ; systemctl start sssd
After some time, trying to log back on the same system I see the login
prompt is much quicker when I type aduser(a)ad.com
Instead of getting a simple "Password:" prompt I get aduser(a)ad.com@
centos.domain.ad.com's password.
If I login as root and stop/start and clean the sssd cache, it start
working again.
/var/log/messages is filled with:
centos sssd_be: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may
provide more information (Server krbtgt/AD.COM(a)IPA.AD.COM not found in
Kerberos database)
Any thoughts ?
Thanks,
Alex

We haven't implemented the site selection for the clients yet, only for
servers, see:

I'm not aware of any such issue..

Yes, from the clients, that should be enough. The servers need more
ports open:
