It should not be manipulated manually. In fact, I've been planning to
remove it from /etc. It more properly belongs in /usr/share/sssd (since
it's read-only data).
I've opened
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1158 to track this.
Thanks for reminding me!
For more details, the purpose of this file are to make sure that the
parser of the sssd.conf used by the SSSDConfig Python API is up to date.
It's a data file because it will (eventually) be possible to have some
providers available that aren't shipped in the main package. So we want
those packages able to ship their own config api data files.
This is a packager-only feature. End-users need not deal with this.
