Hard to say without knowing what their packaging looks like.

That said the client is mostly a tool to help ensure the environment is
sane and if so writes a bunch of configuration files. SSSD does all the
heavy lifting post-install. So there is perhaps some more room for
differences.

I'll note that the client uses curl as well via xmlrpc-c during
enrollment and using certmonger assuming you get a cert on this host.
