Description Martin Kosek 2014-06-11 14:49:12 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3895

This is a follow up for ticket #3776 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983237).

Our calls to `ldapmodify` binary during `ipa-adtrust-install` (and others) do not specify authentication mechanism. If user has existing `.ldaprc` and have the default mechanism set to GSSAPI one, installers may crash with difficult-to-trace errors.

We should explicitly specify what auth mechanism we want to use, when calling LDAP modification binaries (in most cases, it's `EXTERNAL`).

Comment 1 Martin Kosek 2014-06-11 15:23:23 UTC
This request is already fixed in upstream FreeIPA project. Please refer to the linked ticket for additional details and related commits.
