At the end it's a matter of personal taste. In my deployments PAM logins have most times nothing to do with the services running on a host which might even use a completely different LDAP service. > Remember, with SSSD involved you get also authentication for trusted users > from Active > Directory realms. You don't get that with generic LDAP way. This might be a use-case for which to prefer going through pam_sss. As usual your mileage may vary. But we both know next to nothing about the original posters infrastructure. > Also, you'd be more efficient in terms of utilising LDAP connections. Hmm, IMHO this depends very much on the client software used. Modern Java software has decent LDAP connection pooling. Ciao, Michael. (not a Java fan though)
