When I set up a machine with CentOS 8, I used the "Enterprise Login" in the initial setup wizard to authenticate against my FreeIPA server. This worked fine, and I have no issues logging in with that initial user.
However, I am unable to use GDM or the console to login as any *other* valid user from FreeIPA. From GDM I get something like "Sorry, that didn't work" and "Permission denied" on the console. I've verified that the credentials are correct, and that I am able to manually get a ticket via kinit for one of those other users from this machine. With CentOS 7, I didn't have to do any additional configuration in this regard after the initial wizard.
I discovered that /etc/sssd/sssd.conf contains the line:
simple_allow_users = $, initialuser
Adding other users to this line allows them to log in. This is a very small deployment (8 users, 4 machines), so this addresses my immediate need, but clearly isn't really the solution. I'll dig into it some more when I have some leisure.
