Can you set the full set of logs, from both the domain log file and the sssd.log file? There was one user who reported issues with the files provider on fedora but we could never pin the issue down.

Fedora switched the default to “sss files” in F-26. I wouldn’t recommend just “sss” because sssd doesn’t handle root by design (if sssd is misbehaving you really want to be able to log in as root to fix things..)
