title: Ubuntu Server 16.04 SSSD Not Loading
body: <p>I am attempting to authenticate my Ubuntu 16.04 server to an AD but having trouble loading SSSD.  My sssd.conf file looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[sssd]
  services = nss, pam
  config_file_version = 2
  domains = MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
  id_provider = ad
  access_provider = ad
  override_homedir = /home/%d/%u
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is owned by root:root and file permission is set to 600.  When attempting to start SSSD, systemctl reports the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>● sssd.service - System Security Services Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/sssd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2016-06-03 08:06:46 EDT; 9s ago
    Process: 6979 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/sssd -D -f (code=exited, status=4)

  <p>Am I overlooking something?  Thanks!!</p>
