Now the patch to fix this problem is merged into upstream tree.
(commit 419b34bb2e60c54d3258c01d9d05a288c47649f2)

Comment 4 Giuseppe Scrivano 2014-04-04 11:58:04 UTC

the upstream commit 419b34bb2e60c54d3258c01d9d05a288c47649f2 is not enough to get this feature working in rhel-6.6.  Since it depends from other bits and that this is not a bug but a RFE, I am going to close it.
