Issue

When I run getent passwd or getent group I expected all the accounts to be listed, both local and all those configured in LDAP, but I only get the local entries.

Why is getent passwd or getent group not returning LDAP entries ?

shadow:     files sss
group:      files sss
passwd:     files sss
