Well, technically getpw[nam|uid] and getgr[nam|gid] will give you access to the same data you are now pulling from sssd, or you can call the sssd client functions directly, if you are so inclined, by dlopening() the libnss_sss.so library and using the same standard interface glibc uses, eg: _nss_sss_getpwnam_r(); _nss_sss_getpwuid_r(); .. etc...
