I am trying out the files providerwith sssd version 16.1 on Ubuntu Xenial.


In the configuration file I set             enable_files_domain = True


sssd_implicit_files.log then says :

[sssd[be[implicit_files]]] [id_callback] (0x0010): The Monitor returned an error [org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply]


Any ideas please?


Also rather confusingly /etc/nsswitch.conf still has to be set with:                passwd  files sss

The simpl eminded amongst us (me) thought that from the description of the sssd files provider, the passwd and group file would be read at startup, therefore all you would need is sss in the nsswitch.conf

Clearly there is a huge hole of comprehension. Between my ears.
