CentOS - Jun 2016 - sssd.conf file missing

Hello -

I have made the following changes to the nsswitch.conf file as suggested by
another mailing-list member:

Domain = <company>.org
...
Method = nsswitch

and I have restarted idmapd service.

I checked the nsswitch.conf file, and references to sss are mentioned in the
following lines:

passwd:
shadow:
group:
...
services:
netgroup:
...
automount:

I also ran the following command syntax as root to check the sssd configuration:

sssd -c /etc/sssd/sssd.conf -d2 -i

The output was as follows:

sssd -c /etc/sssd/sssd.conf -d2 -i

Getting in deeper here than I'm familiar with. Have you found this yet:
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System-Level_Authentication_Guide/Configuring_Domains.html>

Got that by googling: CentOS 7 "id provider"

Hope that helps.
