As you can see this howto is mainly written for rpm based distributions.
The most important difference between sssd 1.12.5 for ubuntu[1]
and sssd >= 1.12 in fedora[2] is packaging of sssd-libwbclient.

sssd-libwbclient and libwbclient(from samba) use alternatives
to switch between these libraries.


Ubuntu 14.04

Fedora 21
bash-4.3# alternatives --display libwbclient.so.0.11-64
libwbclient.so.0.11-64 - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.11
/usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.11 - priority 10
/usr/lib64/sssd/modules/libwbclient.so.0.12.0 - priority 5
Current `best' version is /usr/lib64/samba/wbclient/libwbclient.so.0.11.


So if you want to use this howto on ubuntu then you need to create
symbolic links on your own.


Feel free to update Howto page with additional information
if you manage solve it on ubuntu.
