Description

Failed to launch Ubuntu VDA with gray screen.
1. Try command line: ssh localhost -l <domain user account> , no password required and inform that “permission denied”.
2. Enter home directory: cd /home
   There are folders named with the user names under /home and these folder were nearly empty. Actually, these username folders should exist under /home/<domian name> by default.
   

Resolution

1. vi /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
2. Change fallback_homedir from "/home/%u " to "/home/%d/%u "
3. Change override_homedir from "/home/%u " to "/home/%d/%u "

Problem Cause

Mis-configuration in sssd.conf.​
