It looks like the Apache error log is probably not going to have a ton 
of information for you, but wouldn't hurt to check.

I'd start with the 389-ds access log when doing a migration. You should 
see the following sequence:

- anonymous bind to search for the naming contexts. It looks like we use 
the first one there which is bad (ticket 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1834)
- it attempts a bind with dn uid=<login>,cn=users,cn=accounts,<naming 
context>

For some reason we convert the LDAP errors into IOErrors, not entirely 
sure why but we should have beefed up logging in any case (ticket 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1835)

See what either or both of them is returning and that may provide the 
clues we need to figure it out.

If you still have migration mode enabled you can generate your 
credentials with sssd by logging into the client normally. If migration 
mode is on then sssd will initiate a kerberos password change for you.
