Of course, anyone on the server who runs a "ps" command will see your password anyway....
Good point...though, I'm not the OP...so maybe that doesn't matter to him. I wonder if you can restrict ps somehow....?

sss_obfuscate

SSS_OBFUSCATE(8)						 SSSD Manual pages						  SSS_OBFUSCATE(8)

NAME

       sss_obfuscate - obfuscate a clear text password

SYNOPSIS

       sss_obfuscate [options] [PASSWORD]

DESCRIPTION

       sss_obfuscate converts a given password into human-unreadable format and places it into appropriate domain section of the SSSD config file.

       The cleartext password is read from standard input or entered interactively. The obfuscated password is put into "ldap_default_authtok"
       parameter of a given SSSD domain and the "ldap_default_authtok_type" parameter is set to "obfuscated_password". Refer to sssd-ldap(5) for
       more details on these parameters.

       Please note that obfuscating the password provides no real security benefit as it is still possible for an attacker to reverse-engineer the
       password back. Using better authentication mechanisms such as client side certificates or GSSAPI is strongly advised.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -s,--stdin
	   The password to obfuscate will be read from standard input.

       -d,--domain DOMAIN
	   The SSSD domain to use the password in. The default name is "default".

       -f,--file FILE
	   Read the config file specified by the positional parameter.

	   Default: /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
