Hi,

no, unfortunately the man page (or the code) is wrong,
https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/blob/master/src/providers/ldap/sdap.c#L840
currently you need `debug_level = 9` to get the libldap debug logs.

I think it would be useful to have the behavior as described in the man
page, are you interested to provide a patch?

bye,
Sumit
