Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When multiple Active Directory domains are configured, SSSD attempts to connect to each of them. If one or more domains are unreachable, SSSD continues trying to resolve them we get "No available servers for service 'sd_domain1.example.com'" repeated error log in sssd_<domain>.log, which may lead to delayed authentication or failed logins for users.
