18.04 cached LDAP passwords

Over the last week I have been working on getting the (Ubuntu 18.04) LDAP directory information cached locally to allow the use of roaming users(on Laptops). Getting the LDAP client setup correctly took a little digging around, but I was eventually able to get it to work. There are a few guides available to help out on this matter, although most are outdated. However, when it comes to cached data, I have not been able to find a fully comprehensive guide on the matter. As it seems there are a number of different ways to do this (nscd, sssd) and as it seems these still have a number of bugs, making it even harder to get up and running.
Guides I've found:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0e8rG0mku8
https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/authentication-caching-with-nscd/
I'm running a simple LDAP server (on a ClearOS 6 dist), and would just like a centralized way of organizing user data for roaming users.
Does anyone have a comprehensive guide(or success) on getting 18.04/LDAP/Cached passwords up and running on laptops???

I have been pulling my hair out for the last week and a half on this same issue. I've tried theldaproute with no success and switched toldapdbut it comes incorporated withnscdandnslcdfor caching which do not seem to work. I'll try thesssdroute and get back to you if I'm successful

I started with the sssd route, got sidetracked and got halfway. Although this seems to be a viable option.

Sorry for the delay. I fell into a trap and had to switch the strategy. I have successfully cached my LDAP passwords by simply installing and configuringsssdon a clean installation of 18.04. Nothing else required. I'm sorry I can't share my configuration file at the moment but if you manage to find the solution and post it, I'll upvote you. Otherwise, I'll post my solution as soon as I have the time

I have been pulling my hair out for the last week and a half on this same issue. I've tried the
ldap route with no success and switched to ldapd but it comes incorporated with nscd and nslcd for caching which do not seem to work. I'll try the sssd route and get back to you if I'm successful– hanzo2001
