Public bug reported: When SSSD is run on a server that hosts an AD domain controller powered by Samba4, all authentication attempts will fail if SSSD is configured to use the said AD DC as backend and access_provider = ad is specified in the SSSD configuration. No problems with authentication other servers with the same SSSD setup, it'll fail just for the host running the DC.
This is a known bug documented and fixed with a simple patch available at https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2870. Upstream has merged this and will be available in SSSD 1.14 when released. Please consider merging this patch for the Debian/Ubuntu SSSD packaging. I'd love to see this uploaded to xenial also. Thank you.
