Hi Lex,

Thank you for the document, it is a good thing to discuss features based on written material :)

The design only mentions ipa-client-install, but we also rely on authconfig in various ipa-advise scripts (ipa-advise command creates a script that can be run by the sysadmin, for instance to configure smart card authentication with ipa-advise config-client-for-smart-card-auth, and the script calls authconfig).

freeipa.spec.in defines a dependency on authconfig, will it be turned into a weak dependency? Will we add a dependency on authselect instead?

Backup and restore refer to the directory /var/lib/authconfig/last/ and the file /etc/sysconfig/authconfig, does it need to be adapted for authselect or does the tool use the same dir and files?

Any potential issues with upgrade? If the client was installed with authconfig but the sysadmin later installs authselect, would backup/restore be disturbed? (I really have no idea but your design should show that you asked yourself the question and evaluated the risks).

I would also suggest adding a pointer to authselect document https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Authselect as this page explains the rationale for migrating to authselect and the main differences. When I read your design I didn't really understand that authselect would provide only a limited set of profiles, hence ruling out the combination authselect / --no-sssd. As this can be a hot topic (see the mail thread...) I believe it's important to express this issue in the design doc.
