Here's a good article on how to handle this for a freeIPA domain, but it

there is no change to the behaviour.

I am a long-time follower of bug 781737, but I have found that I had to
take the same measures as comment #5. In particular, groups in LDAP
that share the same name as a predefined group in /etc/group are

Same as Dan, comment #5 results in a prompt for root credentials.

Still the case on Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1, though comment #5 doesn't seem to

Confirmed on our setup as well. SSSD works fine, but every time a
graphical utility (software center, network manager) asks for root
privileges, the prompts requests a local user's credentials.
As suggested by some users, adding the ldap user to admin group fixes the
problem.
sudo adduser
Ok, I think I've found a solution. It could not be related, so feel free to

PAM with LDAP breaks authentication to Policykit enabled Gnome
It seems that the wrong username is passed to /usr/lib/policykit-1
/polkit-agent-helper-1.

can see in the process list is:
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 nono cookie4
nono being the local user on
