Is anyone else using lighdm with sssd?

Specifically on Ubuntu Xenial.  I have sssd working, as I can ssh into the workstation using an account and password.


The display manager is very flaky indeed, and takes a lot to get it to open a desktop session.

I see this in the lightdm logs:

[+296.15s] DEBUG: Authenticate result for user johe: Success
[+296.15s] DEBUG: User johe authorized, but no account of that name exists

I have seen one report of this problem, and the only fix seems to be a restart of the lightdm service. Or a reboot.


Also in the syslog I see

May 23 11:08:31 ibis lightdm[7408]: ** (process:7673): WARNING **: Failed to open CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files

Has anyone seen similar output?
