7.2.2. Starting and Stopping SSSD

Note

Configure at least one domain before starting SSSD for the first time. See Section 7.2.4, “Creating Domains”.

Either the service command or the /etc/init.d/sssd script can start SSSD. For example:

# service sssd start

By default, SSSD is configured not to start automatically. There are two ways to change this behavior:

Using the authconfig command:

[root@server ~]# authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --update
