Most likely this means the Data Provider had crashed. Can you check syslog
for messages that would indicate a crash?
The Data Provider should have respawned and the PAM Provider should have
reconnected, though..I just ran a quick-n-dirty test locally, killed the
sssb_be process and the sssd_pam reconnected fine for me..
Unfortunately it seems that debugging is completely off according to
your config file, I assume that there is nothing interesting in
/var/log/sssd/*.log ?
