I don't think we are tracking this feature request for RHEL6. If
you need the functionality in RHEL6, feel to propose it through the
support.

You can also use a comma-separated list in the ldap_access_order
parameter of sssd.conf and then define both service and host for a user.
For a finer-grained access control, you probably want IPA's HBAC as
Sumit said.
And the last resort if everything else fails you can still use nss & pam
instead of SSSD if you prefer to (will be a pity but... oh well it is
hard to deliver all the features day one). It is still included into the
distribution for the cases when SSSD does not have some functionality
that would be regarded as regression in comparison to existing PAM & NSS
capabilities.
