Thank you both -- cannot believe I failed to see that option :-(.
But at least you have cleared up the meaning as it was (IMO) slightly ambiguously
phrased.

Sounds like `cache_credentials = false`? (see `man sssd.conf`)
Moreover, `cache_credentials = false` is the default, so unless this is overridden,
attempts to login will fail if the AD KDCs are not available.
We can confirm that this is the case: we don’t override cache_credentials, and if
something breaks network connectivity for a host, we can only login on the console with an
account with a local password (e.g. root); attempting to login with an account that
requires AD/Kerberos authentication fails.
