BTW do you really need to use sssd from copr?

The default version in el7.5 should be almost equivalent
1.16.0-19.el7

Or do you need some specific bug fixes which are only
in upstream (and thus copr)?

That's a good question - I was thinking about it yesterday afternoon. I don't know that we do, but I will need to do some testing. We moved to COPR back when 1.15 had bufixes that 1.14 in EPEL didn't, but that was a while ago now. Because we host our own repos with Foreman/Katello, I've kept COPR as one.

Is there an easy way to "downgrade"?

This is for those that come behind me. To uninstall, this command seems to remove everything that a new install of ipa-client will complain about:

yum remove sss* ipa-client libipa_hbac libsss_* python2-sssdconfig


There is a better way, and I found it via https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39887/is-there-a-way-to-install-and-remove-packages-in-a-single-yum-command

Using yum shell to migrate from COPR sssd 1.16.1-7 to EPEL sssd-1-16.0.19:

downgrade sssd sssd-* libsss_* libipa_*
swap python2-sssdconfig python-sssdconfig
swap python2-libipa_hbac python-libipa_hbac
run

Runs all three commands simultaneously, solving the problem of just trying to downgrade failing - the two swap commands solve those errors that yum throws.
