[ale] RHEL 6 authenticate against LDAP?

[James Sumners]

Does anyone here know how, or if it is even possible, to simply
_authenticate_ against an LDAP server (really, and Active Directory
server)? By that I mean the user's credentials, username and password, are
verified against the LDAP server but all other account information is
provided by a traditional local account.

I have this configuration working in RHEL5, but RHEL6 introduced this SSSD
garbage and it is requiring the UID/GID to come from the remote LDAP
server. I do not want that to happen.

I have attached my sssd.conf and a debug log of the SSSD server starting up
and trying to process one login attempt. The failure starts around line 447
in the log file.
