If your application runs primarily on RHEL, it might make more sense
to use PAM instead (maybe via JNI?), instead of hardcoding the use of
sssd.  (Typically, on Linux systems, sssd is called via PAM.)

That way, system administrators would have near-complete flexibility
in configuring your application’s authentication, because they could
do so via PAM… like virtually every other Linux application that needs
to perform user authentication.
