Thanks Marco, this is indeed a bug in our documentation. I have created
a ticket to fix [1]:

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2434

and [2]:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796751

Just a notice: even though the CLI option name is changed, the option is
still backward compatible, i.e. pre-2.1.90 clients will be able to
change the attribute value.
