According to that, SSSD successfully authenticated the user, but you
still didn't get logged in? I'll bet that means you don't have your
system set up to create home directories on first login automatically.

If you run ipa-client-install with the --mkhomedir option when
configuring the client, it will set this up for you. If you want to
change it after the fact, do this:

authconfig --update --enable-mkhomedir

That should do the trick.
