How to change from the default shell authenticating using SSSD/AD
Within in the sssd.conf file, does anyone know what the syntax should be to allow me to switch between different login shells?
Thanks

chsh: user 'example' does not exist in /etc/passw
You have to edit the file /etc/sssd/sssd.conf and override the default shell in the domain section of the file :
[domain/YOUR_DOMAIN]
override_shell = /bin/zsh
using override_shell changed shell for everyone.
In AD you can add the unix shell it uses the attribute loginShell
Open the user in AD Users and Computers
click on the attribute tab and look for loginShell and edit that to the desired shell for the user
then in sssd.conf I add the line
shell_fallback = /bin/zsh that way if your user doesn't have a shell in AD they still get a shell.
I also did add ldap_schema = ad to sssd.conf to force Active Directory schema.
If this is FreeIPA, use the IPA command:
ipa user-mod username --shell=/bin/bash
By default users can modify themselves.
