I have a diskless workstation, which I noticed recently with some updates has stopped working with respect to sssd.  Here is the config which no longer works:

[domain/default]
id_provider = ldap
autofs_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
chpass_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://named.domain.com/
ldap_search_base = dc=domain,dc=com
ldap_id_use_start_tls = True
ldap_tls_cacertdir = /etc/openldap/certs
cache_credentials = True
ldap_autofs_map_object_class   = automountMap
ldap_autofs_map_name           = ou
ldap_autofs_entry_object_class = automount
ldap_autofs_entry_key          = cn
ldap_autofs_entry_value        = automountInformation
debug_level = 9

[sssd]
services = nss, pam, autofs
domains = default
debug_level = 9

[nss]
homedir_substring = /home
debug_level = 9

[pam]
debug_level = 9

[sudo]
debug_level = 9

[autofs]
debug_level = 9

[ssh]
debug_level = 9

[pac]
debug_level = 9

[ifp]
debug_level = 9

[secrets]
debug_level = 9

[session_recording]
debug_level = 9

What I found, is that the /var/lib/sss directory is not working correctly anymore with NFS root mount.

Lots of timeout and error messages which, after looking at with various debug levels, really didn't offer any clue to exactly why the various components would time out.

However, I did notice  the only workstation which had a issue with the update was the diskless workstation, so I mounted the /var/lib/sss directory on /tmp (Ram disk) which fixed the issue.

I searched for a option to change the sssd /var/lib/sss path and did not find one.

Is there a way to change that in the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf?
