Since an update of sssd there is a problem with a dependency. Suddenly it wasn't possible to login as LDAP user on Ubuntu anymore. The User even disappeared from login screen (Probably because of empty cache). After installing autofs everything worked fine again. There is no dependency to autofs in the latest sssd package but obviously there should be.
We had the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.
I'm not aware of any dependency on autofs. And there are no logs, so I really don't know what happened to your system. Can you add some logs from the borken state?
@czernedo: Firstly, thanks for the bug report!
I've talked to @tjaalton, who's the Ubuntu maintainer and seems the bug is already reported and fixed on Ubuntu's side.
Please, take a look in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1695870
I'm closing the bug but, please, add yourself to the loop in the Ubuntu's bug report and feel free to keep the discussion about the issue there in case it's not fixed for you.
Closing the bug as "INVALID" as it's a distro specific bug (that has already been solved on the specific distro's side as pointed in the comment above).
