The recommended approch to join the node to an Active Directory domain with 'realmd'

Update realmd-distro conf (/usr/lib/realmd/realmd-distro.conf) with below.

[commands]
sssd-enable-logins = /usr/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/systemctl enable oddjobd.service
&& /usr/bin/systemctl start oddjobd.service"

sssd-disable-logins = /bin/true
