It should be possible to construct an INI file using the ini_config API and write it out to a file.
This will make it easy for us to write a UI for configuring the SSSD.
There are couple issues here. We need to differentiate the initial construction and editing the INI file. The INI reader currently ignores the comments and skips broken entries reporting them as errors. If we want to be able to create and edit the INI files we would have to deal with preserving comments, empty spaces and in some way dealing with broken lines. This is not a trivial problem. Augeas really more suitable for editing the INI file because it can easily deal with these issues. We can add functionality to create a new initial INI file pretty easily but is it worth it? It can be done via augeas too. Let us think more about it before we jump and start doing something here. I am not aginst doing it but let us think more before we decide what to do.

The new INI code is easily capable of this. Moving to value objects instead of the string values helped a lot.

AFAIK, there are no plans currently to utilize such a functionality, thus closing as WONTFIX.
