SSSD does not allow leading "@" characters in front of username on RHEL system.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • SSSD seems to ignore leading @ characters when looking up a username.
  • If we update nsswitch.conf to remove sss from the passwd line this behavior goes away and this is a security breach.
