RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

he following issue was reported by awnuk:

Current directory authentication plugin works in two steps:

    it verifies ability to connect to the directory

    it retrieves password from user entry to compare it against password provided by user during enrollment

Unfortunately in both steps, the directory authentication plugin is using directory admin password.
It is also not the best security wise solution to retrieve a user's password just for comparison.

If you would like to preserve two steps approach, then it would be better to

    anonymously access RootDSE in directory (to verify ability to connect to the directory or ignore this step)

    verify if plugin can authenticate as a user, with credential provided during the enrollment (additionally plugin could check user's membership attribute or specified attribute)

This way you could avoid storing (in CS.cfg) and using directory admin credentials and retrieving user credentials.
