#9357 Remove --no-sssd and --noac from ipa-client-install man page
Opened a year ago by mpolovka. Modified a year ago

Parameters --no-sssd and --noac were removed in #7671, however, they are still present in the man page of ipa-client-install

Package version:
freeipa-client-4.9.11-1.fc36.x86_64

--noac Do not use Authconfig to modify the nsswitch.conf and PAM configuration.
...
       -S, --no-sssd
              Do not configure the client to use SSSD for authentication, use nss_ldap instead.
...
Files that will be replaced if they exist and SSSD is not configured (--no-sssd):

              /etc/ldap.conf
              /etc/nss_ldap.conf
              /etc/libnss-ldap.conf
              /etc/pam_ldap.conf

I wonder if this was intentional or not. The --noac option is still handled in the client:

    # --noac is not supported any more for rhel-based distros
    if not tasks.is_nosssd_supported() and options.no_ac:
        raise ScriptError(
            "Option '--noac' is incompatible with the 'authselect' tool "
            "provided by this distribution for configuring system "
            "authentication resources",
            rval=CLIENT_INSTALL_ERROR)

I suppose we could pick a branch, or branches, to drop it entirely now.

Seems like unintentional leftover, per original issue description:

Authconfig was also removed (thus --no-ac option does not make sense)
