I've tested sssd a lot of time by higher debug level. The entries of the
auto.master tables was searched every time by:
(nisMapName=<Value of nisMapEntry>)

This means if you have in auto.master following entries:
nisMapEntry: ldap nisMapName=auto.home,ou=mounts,dc=sample,dc=com

The filter looks like:
(nisMapName=ldap nisMapName=auto.home,ou=mounts,dc=sample,dc=com)
and it fails everytime.

If the nisMapEntry contains the nisMapName of the autofs table it works fine: 
nisMapEntry: auto.home
Filter is:
(nisMapName=auto.home)

The normal autmount can implement both kind of nisMapEntry. 
I'll attach 2 ldif examples for the same autofs tabs.
