Description
I've been trying to use FreeIPA Container to manage some new infrastructure using FCOS as the primary platform. I found this comment on the fedora-coreos-tracker issues that provided some of the info, and I added some bits that seem to be required from other reading I've done.
The result, is the fcct snippet that is attached.
fcct-sssd_freeipa-snippet.yml.txt
This configuration results in a somewhat working sssd. If I'm logged in as the core user, I can successfully get some information, but not everything.
[core@example-0 ~]$ id dcode
uid=1024800001(dcode) gid=1024800001(dcode) groups=1024800001(dcode)
[core@example-0 ~]$ getent passwd dcode
dcode:*:1024800001:1024800001:Derek Ditch:/home/dcode:/bin/sh
[core@example-0 ~]$ getent group dcode
dcode:*:1024800001:
[core@example-0 ~]$ getent group admins
admins:*:1024800000:
[core@example-0 ~]$ sss_ssh_authorizedkeys dcode
Error looking up public keys
Since sssd is clearly in the platform for this explicit purpose, can we get a working example against FreeIPA? and maybe some people might be interested in AD or something.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the attached fcct-sssd_freeipa-snippet.yml.txt and the linked Fedora CoreOS tracker comment to understand the current SSSD and FreeIPA configuration. Document a working FreeIPA example for Fedora CoreOS, including the behavior shown by the id, getent, and sss_ssh_authorizedkeys commands; broader AD coverage is optional in the request.
