If you have to keep the short hostname in the system you can configure
sssd to use ipa_hostname (for ipa provider) or ad_hostname (for ad
provider) and put there whatever you want.

That string will be used instead of performing a gethostname() call.
It *should* work with all parts of sssd, if it doesn't please open a
bug.

Simo.
