Correction: It looks like DIR type ccaches are already a thing of the past and
SSSD=1.12 & KRB=1.12 and have moved to storing ccaches in the kernel keyring.

This can be achieved in openSUSE 13.2 like to:
------- /etc/krb5.conf --------
[libdefaults]
        default_ccache_name = KEYRING:persistent:%{uid}
------- /etc/krb5.conf --------

------- /etc/sssd/sssd.conf --------
[domain/default]
krb5_ccname_template = KEYRING:persistent:%U
------- /etc/sssd/sssd.conf --------

This should fix the problem if directories not existing permanently, as the
kernel keyring is always available.
