sssd has a lot of configuration issues and some very performance issues. It works best with FreeIPA rather than Active Directory: it's basically a Samba core with a FreeIPA body bolted on top of it, and it does not scale to large AD environments. (Its insistence on pre-caching the *entire* LDAP of the AD server and crashing if it times out on that pre-load, is deadly for bulky, remote environments.) For a very simple AD setup, it can work well. Be aware that it will transform account names like "nkadel" in the "example.com" AD domain to "[email protected]", except when it doesn't, and the account management can get pretty funky if you don't want to use the long form all the time. Also be prepared to overload the 2048 maximum line-length limit in /etc/group with such account names if you're not cautious, and has to be dealt with that way unless you do considerable extra work, in the sssd.conf and elsewhere in ways that upgrades to sssd tend to erase. If you have to use it, be prepared to spend time tuning the sssd itself with Ansible and managing credentials with which to register the ansible target hosts in AD.
