Question #706189 on sudo in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+question/706189

    Status: Needs information => Answered

shah proposed the following answer:
The sudo-ldap package is an extension of the sudo package that allows
system administrators to configure sudo to use an LDAP directory for
sudo configuration data, instead of relying on local files or NIS.

When sudo-ldap is installed, it modifies the nsswitch.conf file to
change the sudoers entry from sss to ldap, indicating that sudo should
use the LDAP directory for sudo configuration data.

The nsswitch.conf file is the configuration file for the Name Service
Switch (NSS) library, which determines the order and sources of various
name services, including user authentication and authorization. Changing
the sudoers entry from sss to ldap in nsswitch.conf instructs the NSS
library to consult the LDAP directory for sudo configuration data,
instead of using local files or NIS.

It's worth noting that modifying nsswitch.conf should be done with
caution and only by experienced system administrators, as changes to
this file can impact the system's overall functionality and security.
