All,

When I was first crafting my sssd.conf file, I very much attempted to make all my sssd domains upper-case.  Because in my (naive) view, an AD domain is just a Kerberos realm (+ LDAP + nice admin screens).

As you know, Kerberos is very much case-sensitive.  (Technically, AD is not.  but the convention in the /etc/krb5.conf file is to always put Kerberos realms in upper case).

Back to sssd.

When sssd auto-discovered the other parent and child domains, it discovered them in lower case.  I was left with a mix of upper and lower-case sssd domains.  Even worse, the one local AD domain showed up twice.  Once in upper-case (explicitly defined in sssd.conf) and once in lower-case (auto-discovered).

Eventually, I gave up and went with the (apparently recommended sssd) convention of lower-case sssd domain names.  In the domain definition, I list the krb5_realm in upper case:

    [domain/amer.example.com <http://amer.example.com>]
    ...
    krb5_realm = AMER.EXAMPLE.COM <http://AMER.EXAMPLE.COM>

This is extremely unimportant (lower case works).  But is there an option to auto-discover sssd domains in upper case?

Lukas summarized the case sensitivity and difference between sssd domain and realm pretty good so just to answer your question - no, we currently do not have any option to set auto-discovered domain name format.
