Comment # 22 on bug 899369 from malcolm moore

For reference:-
If your set up is like ours, with openSuSE clients and SuSE servers
and your users and autofs were created on a SuSE server using YaST
then your sssd.conf needs to look like this and it will all just 
magically work. 

[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
services = nss, pam, autofs
domains = LDAP

[nss]
filter_users = root
filter_groups = root

[pam]

[domain/LDAP]
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_uri = ldap://ldap.your.com
ldap_tls_reqcert = allow
ldap_autofs_search_base = ou=autofs,dc=your,dc=com
ldap_autofs_map_object_class = nisMap
ldap_autofs_map_name = nisMapName
