13.2.3. Starting and Stopping SSSD
Important
Configure at least one domain before starting SSSD for the first time. See Section 13.2.10, “SSSD and Identity Providers (Domains)”.
Either the
service command or the /etc/init.d/sssd script can start SSSD. For example:
~]# service sssd start

authconfigcommand:~]# authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --update
- Adding the SSSD process to the start list using the
chkconfigcommand:~]# chkconfig sssd on
