What version of IPA are you using?
Have you verified that trust actually works by looking up or 
authenticating with the AD users on the SSSD client or on the server itself?

The compat tree fills the data dynamically as you need it. When an AD 
user accesses Solaris box Solaris would authenticate against the compat 
tree. Compat tree will use SSSD on the server to authenticate against 
the AD. It seems that this part is failing. SSSD logs from the IPA 
server with high debug level would be helpful.
