This is a split of 241657: When using "auth --enablemd5 --enableshadow --enablecache --enablekrb5 -- enableldap -- ldapserver="ldaps01.ethz.ch" -- ldapbasedn="ou=isg,ou=inf,ou=auth,o=ethz,c=ch" -- enableldaptls" in the kickstart the settings for ldap are not working properly. This should produce a "uri ldaps://..." but in ldap.conf will be "uri ldap://...". Also the nsswitch.conf has some nisplus settings which is useless for me as we do not use it.
The correct options of authconfig for ldaps is --enableldap --ldapserver=ldaps://ldaps01.ethz.ch --ldapbasedn="ou=isg,ou=inf,ou=auth,o=ethz,c=ch" Unfortunately this still needs a fix in RHEL-5 version of nss_ldap to work correctly. The nisplus settings in nsswitch.conf are harmless. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 462549 ***
