... está en enforcing

at the time of rewriting the configuration file and there are byte strings that need to be encoded, it fails.

Why do you need to use bytes ? Or is the issue with non utf-8 encondings ?
IMHO the simplest would be to attach problematic sssd.conf.

thanks for your comments, you're right, it's my mistake,
fails trying to rewrite this:

'# el selinux lo bloquea cuando está en enforcing'

with the word 'está'

I'm sorry I cannot reproduce it:

Hi,

it looks like the issue is only present in python-2. My tests with python-3 are working without issues. Unfortunately your patch in https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/836 breaks python-3, please see my comment there.

bye,
Sumit
