Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description Robert Cooper 2011-02-07 19:44:02 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100827 Red Hat/3.6.9-2.el6 Firefox/3.6.9

The system-config-authentication gui will not allow the administrator to configure kerberos authentication without using LDAP account management.  authconfig-tui does still work correctly to allow setting up kerberos without LDAP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start system-config-authentication
2. kerberos is not available for "local accounts only" setting.
3. kerberos becomes available when selecting "LDAP" or "NIS" options.
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2011-02-07 20:44:59 UTC 
I'm sorry but this was decided as a scenario that does not fit the concept of the system-config-authentication GUI. It will still be supported by the command-line UI (authconfig --enablekrb5 and related options).
