Actually, that does not seem what I experience.

On RHEL 6.7 and RHEL 7.2, I've tried to start with sssd.conf
containing

	[domain/default]
	autofs_provider = ldap
	cache_credentials = True
	ldap_search_base = dc=old,dc=domain
	id_provider = ldap

I tried ipa-server-install and I tried ipa-client-install. In both
cases, the resulting sssd.conf had the [domain/default] section
removed. So something in the process seems to care about that section
-- maybe not the installer, maybe authconfig or something else.

On the other hand, I was not able to reproduce the chaneg to the
content of the domain/default section that lejeczek reports. I guess
we will need more detailed steps to reproduce, including the exact
original sssd.conf and versions of relevant packages.
