Hi,

based on which information do you want to do the access control?
Group-memberships?

AD requires authentication, so if you want to read something from AD you
need credentials. Typically you get them during the join, but you can
use a service account as well and use 'ldap_default_bind_dn' and
'ldap_default_authtok' (see man sssd-ldap for details).

I would recommend to not set 'ldap_uri' at all, in this case SSSD will
use DNS SRV lookups to find LDAP servers in you domain. You might need
the 'dns_discovery_domain' option (see man ssssd.conf) if the domain
name given in the [domain/your.domain.name] section header does not
match the name of the AD domain.
