A host service principal is created during enrollment so no additional 
work should be needed for SSH to work. The problem you're having is 
related to the fact that user lookup services are failing.

Can you look in /var/log/secure and/or /var/log/sssd/* to see if there 
are any errors reported regarding sssd?

What options did you pass to ipa-client-install?
